My 2 cents --- Just keep in mind that with this "dangerous" combination of low profile tires on large diameter wheels (I'm not talking about the insane 20-23" diameter wheels, just 17" diameter), steering response and, therefore, accident avoidance and safety of the occupants is greatly improved.
Only in the hands of a seasoned driver would any such gains be a positive...any other drivers would likely not be able to realize any gain...instead it would make it easier for the car to get out of hand.
That was the original reason for the lower profile tires.
The ones I speak of are in the ridiculous category...17" with just an inch or so of sidewall spells trouble on rough roads at any speed (maybe that's why the cars go so slow here!)
