16" Wheels/Tires Poll

[jdbubb@ix.netcom.com (Dan Bubb)]

Of course, depending on you buttocks, they may take 20-30% of the
squish!
Sidewall squish is also dependent on tire pressure. A lot of people seem
to run mid-30's pressure. Running a more reasonable (from my
perspective) 28 psi works well with 205/40 X 16.
