MeToo, i think he is trying to say that the car squats a bit, and always raring to go. Meaning the car now has better torque, pulls our body back more to the car seat (  as if like after a  mini turbo lag sensation). Not a wheelspin , i think. (wheelspin normally happen after strong power pull, when car initially stationary).

I think Kenny has done a lot of work on the 2k to 3k rev band, specifically to gain a lot of torque, compared to stock settings. That is very useful really and i commend him for that. Predominantly, those bands of rev are the norms that we are at , in daily driving.
FYI, i have the same feeling too now, as what JackNg describes.

I do not think there is any harm to be in that scenario of things. I could be wrong.

He means the ride feels harsh and bumpy.... that the tyres are not absorbing the surface unevenness well.... coz he was on 18s back then....

Now that he have changed back to 17 + higher profile tyres, he feels lil more comfort (less bumpy) but not confident of the more flex of the higher profile tyres.... (back have buang feel)

18"

The shop is near Sembawang by the way...(if you decide to drop by)

Also got to know from me cousin (who's a Singaporean) that them PS3 rubbers for 225/45/18 can be bought for around SGD275 --> RM670 there....(maybe this is a lil' fair cause we float around that price as well)

One last comparison study on them rubber size changes:

Compared against: 205/60/16

Speedometer Reading: 70km/h

Tyre Size Diameter Circumference Difference Speedo Fits Wheel Rim
---------- -------- ------------- ---------- ------ --------------
215/45 R17 626 mm 1967 mm -3.96 % 72.77 7x17 to 8.5x17
225/45 R17 634 mm 1992 mm -2.73 % 71.91 7.5x17 to 9x17
215/50 R17 646 mm 2029 mm -0.93 % 70.65 6x17 to 7.5x17
225/50 R17 656 mm 2061 mm 0.63 % 70.44 6x17 to 7.5x17
215/55 R17 668 mm 2099 mm 2.49 % 71.74 6x17 to 7.5x17
225/55 R17 680 mm 2136 mm 4.30 % 73.01 6x17 to 7.5x17
215/45 R18 650 mm 2042 mm -0.29 % 70.20 7x18 to 8.5x18
225/45 R18 660 mm 2073 mm 1.22 % 70.85 7.5x18 to 9x18
215/50 R18 672 mm 2111 mm 3.08 % 72.16 6x18 to 7.5x18
225/50 R18 682 mm 2143 mm 4.64 % 73.25 6x18 to 7.5x18

The ones that are still within the acceptable range are the ones with the overall Diameter that doesn't exceed -3% <> +3%

The best bet for them rubber IMHO would be (in order):

1- 215/45 R18
2- 225/50 R17
3- 215/50 R17
4- 225/45 R18

Comfort....??? Stay with the CC5 205/60/16.....

Why you think I am still using this size....????

215/50/17 is very comfortable too, minus the wobbling feeling of 205/60/16.
