[QUOTE="KL2DC, post: 155339, member: 3452"] Sidewall stifness aside, its the unsprung weight at each corner (60-70 pounds for each wheel/tyre) that affects handling. Also the tire compounds suck. On the E90, engineers claim that the suspension had been tuned to accomodate RFTs (read: softer to allow for higher unsprung weight). But people who have chucked the RFTs have reported more nimble handling, better ride comfort and better fuel economy. Actually, people who upsized reported that some 19" wheel/tire setup were actually lighter than factory 17" wheel/tire setup. [/QUOTE]
