Hmmmmm......interesting. That difference creates a 5-6 mph difference. Just seems like alot for what seems like a small difference in height.

For some reason I couldn't wrap my mind around the concept that going from a 17 to an 18 would be smaller. But thinking how tall the stock tires are on the new ones, it's starting to click now.
