Steering feels lighter with less kickback since I put the Pro Race wheels on with the 195/50s...I'm pretty damn sure it's not my imagination....surely they would'nt make such a difference though?
Feels miles better

I'll put it down to offset .....I could feel a difference between ET36 and 37
Or maybe just the difference in tyres as some feel stiffer than others

Should be better due to less unsprung weight and maybe a different offset.

Lighter wheel/tyre combination will do that. Less work for the suspension and the tyre follows the road undulation more accurately. What's the per wheel/tyre weight difference, Martin?
