but don't expect improvements in straight-line traction if you're installing 18" rims. Big rims = ultra-low profile tyres = poor traction.

How does this work Norbie?

I've always assumed that the smaller the profile, the softer the compound, and hence the grippier the tyre?
Or is this only on expensive tyres, not cheap ones
(and yes I do know that the cheaper the tyre, the harder the compound, but I have only ever dealt with 60 series and above)
