Howdy lordmakemeworthy I quote you: "in my thoughts a vehicle with wider tires and that sits up higher (Touring Edition)" The Touring Edition does not 'sit up higher.' The 16" wheels are equipped with Bridgestone Turanza tires which are a lower profile than the Goodyear Integreties, thus the overall diameter of the wheel-tire assembly is virtually the same as the 'standard' 15" wheel with Goodyear Integrety tires. One advantage of the Bridgestones is the larger 'footprint' {more rubber on the pavement} which improves traction and handling and seems to slightly decrease MPG.

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(lordmakemeworthy @ Mar 17 2007, 09:59 PM) [snapback]407669[/snapback]</div> How exactly WIDER tires make car sit HIGHER? 16" means bigger RIM not bigger WHEEL. With bigger rim you get lower profile time to keep overall wheel height the same.
