ok ive recently fitted some 15" alloys on an ET38

the car seems fine apart from little quirks on uneven roads

anyways - i had ET49 astra GTE rims before on 195/60r14 kwikfit tires

now ive got 195/60r15 BFGoodrich tires

the strange thing is - everyone said the steering would get heavier - it didnt - it got lighter

so any ideas as to whats happened here?

are both profiles of the tyres the same?

what i mean is whats the rolling diameter of both wheels?

also it could be one set of tyres is VERY square, whilst another set is like moutain bike ROUND tyres?

the astra rims were a larger rolling circumference AND had bulgy as f00k tires?
