Well you do notice rutting asphalt more than with the smaller tires, but due to the wider wheels&tires and it being dropped low, it corners like a dream :). Had to cut away the arches though.

Thanks for the info,
did you have to cut alot off, or like quarter of and inch of something?
Also one more question, what wheels are they, superlights?
Both minis above are very nice looking

Yep, cause it's really quite low :). Cones are worn too, only rubbed hard on the right side. Hi-low's sort of fixed that, but had to cut away a bit on both sides though.
