16 inch wheels?

Shame that you feel the need to get personal. Everytime I replied something to your posts it was based on the arguments you put forward in them. If you just have some user experiences to share then ok. Put forward wrong technical theories about the origins of the changes you feel and I will comment. This seems to offend you.

I keep coming back to slip-angles because they are KEY to this discussion. You cannot get hard data on slipangle from suspension analysers as they are a tire characteristic. They dictate the forces with which the tire reacts to the forces from the chassis. Consider it similar to the elasticity of materials. The deflection is caused by outside forces, but the amount of deflection is dictated by the elasticity modus. This elasticity (or the rate of slip angle change) of the tire depends on tire loading, speed, tire deflection etc etc. Again, you don't need to look at the whole suspension, its a tire thing! Change tire parameters and the slip angles change. Go to wider tires and the same force results in smaller slip angles. That's the reason of the changes you mentioned.

I'll leave it at that..the rest of your post seems to be a long rant and doesn't add anything constructive to this discussion.
