Lots and lots of people think that they will improve the handling of their 
car if they fit wide wheels and tyres and they are wrong.  Money spend on the 
suspension will improve handling.  Money spend on wide wheels and tyres just 
increases grip which the average car cannot exploit either due to lack of 
power or limitations on suspension.  Also larger wheels and tyres increase 
unsprung weight which is detrimental to ride comfort.
