This is an oversimplification where AutoX is concerned because it doesn't account for the increased grip and quicker response that can come with the ability to run lower aspect ratio tires. And if you are willing to pay enough, you can find lightweight 17 and 18 inch wheels that weigh the same or less than our stock 16s. The larger tires would of course add weight but one could at least try to choose the lightest tire possible.
You're exactly right, but I don't have a feel for the level of knowledge in this group. There are a lot of great detailed discussions on this on the FFRAX forum. Plus, I thought it might hijack the thread to get too detailed.
