smaller tired on same rims=slower acceleration?????????
As far as I know...an overall smaller diameter in wheel and tire size will drop the final drive down, which should result in better acceleration; the strange thing is that happened was that my times actually got worse...??? Just wondering if you guys have any ideas...

dont trust the butt-dyno
plus are the new tires wider ? less air pressure ? stickier rubber ? heavier ?
it could be something small..........

look at your times before and after- it could be somewhere in the trap speed.

It's the weight. I had the same with the S-03 195/50R15. I didn't notice any advantage of the smaller S-03 because it was heavier than the RE-010 195/55R15.....
