Did you felt the heavy loading and slow response than OEM ?
no the car is faster than before because I now have the grip.
before the car could not go around corner that fast.

c16 was nice at pickup but not good for high speed or corners :thumbsdown:
c19 is faster and better on corners.

In the end the car dose not feel slow at all.

takes longer to stop and higher unsprung weight also.

slightly heavier wheels are:

stronger, and have better
rotational mass

but need a bit extra push for inertia and are less accurate turning in around corners.

if you have ridden bikes you will know that heavier wheel cycles as soon as you get them moving will
move faster each time you pedal, but the lighter wheel ones need a bit more oomph to move faster- in a straight line

i'm not a technician but i think the same thing applies

Caption, RE-11 weights 28lbs for front and 29lbs for rear (information from Tirerack), what is the weight of your wheels?
Michelin PS2 is so much lighter, only 23lbs for front and 25lbs for rear

yes the re11 are the heavest of them all, but in the end they are better tyres than ps2.
if I was going to choose ps2 then I would go for V12 any day for half the price and 95% same performance
my rims wight less than the tyres at 25lb front and 26lb rear.
