    I don't think its that noticeable..
    I mean when I switched from 185 to 205... it wasn't a big difference at all.. well to me at least.

    just for the record, im never going 205/40/17s again.. lol.

    i'll get a 205/50/16 or maybe 205/55/16 40 profiles are just too much for the highways of nyc where you cant slow down to smooth over the bumps.
