Depending on the tire that you plan to install on the rims will make a difference if you are looking for performance. I know alot of people here use wider tires mostly because of the look it gives.
Are you looking for performance or look or both?

Do you want a tire that performs well in the dry, wet or both? What about treadwear?
The UTQG can also help in your decision on which tire you plan to get.

For everyday street driving (People can only drive so fast on the streets) You may not need a high performance tire like an R1R or NT05 or even a 615 Azenis. These types of tires people end up running on the street and never get to use the performance out of them. It's mostly for that racer look. Which is cool too, but these tires wear out faster.

I'm wanting larger tire for more stability and surer footing, plus the look.
I'm not looking for a high performance tire, just something that does well in both wet and dry roads. I will use separate tires for winter.
