Exactly.  Having pulled my Fuchs with 215/50 Dunlop SP8000's and replaced
them with 16" ATP S5's with 225/50 Kumho's in anticitpation of a big brake
upgrade, I was expecting a difference, but I was shocked.  The Fuchs mit
tires are light and easy to handle compare to the S5's.  With the tires
dismounted, you can literally pick up the Fuchs with two fingers.  When I
got my Superleggera's for the S6, I pulled out the Fuchs just to see,
despite the 15" vs. 17" inconsistency.  The Fuchs are so much lighter, there
isn't even a comparison to be made.  And the driving/handling
characteristics of the urq were seriously changed/diminished with the
heavier rubber, even discounting the taller tires.

Just my non-arbitrated nickel,

Steve
