Re: Wheel Question
Ed:
Besides a small difference in weight, the main difference between mounting a given tire on a 3.5" verses a 4" is that the tire contact patch will be less on the 3.5 than on the 4. This equates to less rolling resistance. Also the 3.5 is preferred by drivers without power steering as the "crowned" tire tread steers a little quicker with a lighter feel (again due to the less contact area.) Some will argue that this difference is very small, while others will tell you that you can feel the difference in cars without power steering.
