All I know is the car feels slower to me. Not massively but, noticeably...at least to me. Maybe my perception has to do with the fact that the Hancook V12's I was running (at oem size) were so bald that the new, fatter tires & new tread make me think it's slower
well step one is to throw away V12's they're trash even when brand new lol

all tires will feel a little squishy and whatnot new based on lots of meat and compound on them. unless you buy something that only comes with 6/32" from new like a R888 etc....
