Less sidewall flex= faster reaction times, Automatic cars like a stiffer sidewall,
stiffersidewall=more stable up top, 15" will clear most brake setups.

yea i had a problem when i upgraded my civic brakes to integra ones and my 13 " slicks wouldnt fit ... plus with the 13 teens i was spinning them like crazy with my turbo setup but when it was a N/A it hooked up great .. faster you go the better brakes you need for sure so i went to the 15" slicks ....

The 13s seem easier to driver to me. Once pointed in the right direction I have an easier time staying in the groove. With the 15s the car reacts/over-reacts to steering input and I find myself having to correct more. Both o 24.5" tire...
