    Larger tyres will also affect acceleration, braking and fuel usage

    Bigger rolling diameter will affect your take off and that depends on heaps of thing motor, diff ratios etc.
    Heavier rolling diameter will affect your braking ability too,
    You should know this cause if you put 31 back on, your GQ would fly

    Must be a diesel thing coz I didn't notice the difference in my petty........ But then again that's probably due to me driving Miss Daisy

    I don't know what it is really, the 33s that came on the car were bugger all different to my 265s but my Silverstones really suck the power from the car.
