Too Much Rubber???
he was talking about rolling resistance. imo, your car could use the extra rubber if you like the look and NEED the traction. on these cars, its welcome. on a civic, maybe its too much.
^^^ could not have said it better.

there is such thing as too much rubber, if we are talking about drag racing. if you can dead hook on a 245, then a 315 will slow you down. it creates rolling resistance. also, it is rotating mass. and unsprung weight. all bad. there's a reason people run skinnies up front.
really, it won't make a huge difference unless you're trying to squeeze every 100th out of it, but there is truth to it.
