Less sidewall = reduced acceleration traction. Generally the taller sidewalls flex more improving the grip on launch. It has the opposite effect on cornering of course but at a certain point the stiffness is enough that the driver doesn't get early enough feedback that the tires are reaching the limit.
Maybe a 17" might be a good compromise? That's what I'm running on my Bird. Rodger your car is amazing. |

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
