well, you'll get more traction the wider you go. you'll also notice more steering effort, shorter braking distances (assuming you dont go too heavy on the wheels), less mileage per gallon because of scrubbing/weight, and likely better slalom times due to traction.

but, it's all dependant on what you're doing with the car. i wouldnt put racing wheels/tires on the street because it's just pointless unless you're street racing. i always have stuff in the trunk so it sliding around and destroying itself just isnt worth the price to me. i'd rather have a good medium of all than high traction and low mileage all the time. i drive, i dont race so mileage is more important than traction to me

on another note, the tires themselves are much more expensive than a normal v or h rated tire...or even an r rated tire. again it all depends on what you want, what you're doing with it, and how much money you have.
