QSD,
Your reply on the aspect ratio is both right and wrong.
Let me explain: If you are comparing the same treadwidth to different aspect ratios, i.e.: 205/50 to 205/40, then yes, you are correct about less sidewall rubber between the rim and the road. However, if you were comparing 205/50 to a 235/45, then the 235/45 tire actually has MORE sidewall rubber between the rim and the road.

I was assuming people would want to keep overall diameter the same and no screw up speedometer - following the "plus 1" rules - first # goes up, second # goes down.
And if you go to larger rims, you will be guaranteed to have less rubber - it keeps me from 17" rims.
