No, the width of the wheel would remain the same, just its position within the wheel arch would change.

To me, it was.

I moved from F1s on the rear to GSD3s as the F1 is no longer made in the size I use.

I did notice a difference though.

Both tyres over the Toyos I had on there to begin with were also a massive difference

(for the better, I hasten to add).

But that is of course, just my personal opinion

£100 each

(ouch)?

My rear tyres are nearer

£140 so don't complain too much

As stated above, I like them, the offer good levels of grip

(both in the wet and the dry) and the fronts seem to be quite communicative in feedback.

The fronts will last ages though, I had a pair on for well over 2 years and they had a 1/3rd of the tread left.
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
They were only changed due to a defect in the tyre.

The rears last me about 16 months or so, and that's on a daily driver.
