Okay,
I want to ask this question.

Currently my ride is a Nissan Sunny and it's fitted with 175/70 R13.

Now I was thinking to go for the common 165s 60/R13 which has a lower aspect ratio series,
or the uncommon 165/70 R13 from Sime Tyre.

I found one tyre: 175/60/R13 but it's also uncommon.!

So my question is
a) does it actually improve cornering (and ) despite both the lower aspect ratio and lower profile tyres?
b) Does it give a lower the car's height slightly, cause I see that the 2 tyres I mentioned, shows a lower Sidewall Height

I used the Tyre Calculator for the 165/60 R13 and the Diameter differences is a Positive 8.18% and a result of "Speedometer Difference: -8.13% too slow"

I know sounds rather silly to go down, buts kinda hard to find performance tyres on a 13" and I'm not ready yet to fork out for 14" alloy rims. Maybe in future I will go for wider 13" rims (Old School rims/Drifting rims)
