You fags were right: Fuck low profile tires.
I went with a taller tire on my daily and it rides like a dream now.
255/35R18 to a 255/40R18
Even my MPG is up a bit since the engine turns 80rpm less at 70mph.

>>28932559
for best results use the smallest wheels that can fit over the stock calipers
>t. went from 235/40R19 to 205/65R16

>>28932573
18s are the smallest I can fit unfortunately.
The Lexus brake calipers are fuck all huge for a 13in rotor.

that's funny cause I've went from 225/70 14s to 235/45 18s on the same car and I'm going to fuckin tell you right now it's all in the spring rate and shocks.
your sidewall isn't your suspension.

Anon, cars take tires into account when it comes to suspension frequencies.
There are actual tests OEMs use that measure how much force the tire has when deformed.
Springs is about 25%
Dampers another 30%
Tires are 30%
Last 15% is shit like suspension geometry and chassis rigidity

Welcome to the fat boi club~

I bought this E30 and found that it rode like shit and tram lined pretty bad on some roads. Had a look underneath, and I could see that the suspension was fairly tired and it could also use new shocks, so I just figured that was the issue and left it at that. A week or so later, I swapped the god-awful 17inch Alpina reps for a set of original 15inch style 5 wheels, and it completely transformed the car; no crashy ride, no tram lining. Was very happy with that discovery.

Technically right, functionally wrong. The air in your tires is the first form of suspension, changing the sidewall height changes the volume of air, more air, softer ride
>>
>>28932596
You've never gone off-roading and it shows.
You've never been in the sand and it shows.
You've never had back problems from leaf springs and it shows.

Rides pretty nice desu senpai
"your tires aren't your suspension" is a lie. Think of your tires as the high-speed compression setting on your 5-way adjustable Gabriels.
