what happens when:

1. we increase the diameter: the ride should be smoother, because it eats the potholes better than smaller tyres. right?
2. decrease the dia: lowered center of gravity, should give a better handling on race tracks. (may also give better FE because of less rotational inertia, may be that's why indian cars have smaller tyres)

the width will only add the grip to the vehicle, right?

and suspension and everything is different issue altogether.

but are first 2 points correct?
