Changing tyres from low profile to regular wheels

low profile tyres

ford fiesta 2004

So as a follow up to my blog about changing tyres on my Corsa Utility from low profile to regular, this weekend a friend of mine changed her Ford Fiesta from low profiles to regular. Her opinion though is quite different to mine.

Opel Corsa Utility 2004

Whereas I was thrilled with the difference in my slower workhorse she is unhappy with the changes to performance of her fast nippy Ford Fiesta 1.6.

She feels the car just doesn't have the pulling power it used to have. That its not as nippy and powerfully quick as it was before. I still feel that the ride is more comfortable, even in her car.

Interesting thought. Have any of you changed from one type to the other? What is your opinion?
