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.
