Random question: Why were Sport Designs .5" narrower up front than say, the Turbo Looks? Any difference in handling characteristics on comparable tires?

Coverage and how to read this overview
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Mk 1 fronts were 7.5", Mk 2 fronts were 8". I've read that Sport Designs were available in both widths, although I've only seen 7.5" (which is what I have). I have no idea what effect, if any, the 1/2" width difference would have on handling.

I have the 8" sport design fronts on my 2000 C2. I haven't noticed any difference in handling for the better, however, I definitely can say they seem more cumbersome than the 7.5" twists I had on previously. The rim switch was purely aesthetic (I love the way they look). I did feel that the 7.5" fronts were more nimble than the 8".
