Converting my XL Talion to a street rig and looking at tire options, GRP's are an obvious option and are 42/100mm. For going a little bigger, the Hoons have a 53/107mm size and Method sells the Velociters in 54/106mm for taller/wider, and also a 54/100 option for wider but not taller. How much of a difference in handling would it be with larger tires? I'll run it with GRP's first since I already have them, but only have one spare set of XM5 compound so I know they won't last long. Do the larger tires drift better or worse? Also, durability, they cost more but does the larger size equate to noticeably longer tire life? My first thought is yes they would last longer because its more material, but not sure so figured I'd ask.
