like my 155/70 tyres (or indeed the 145/70s that came with the car...)
21.9 (or 20.8!?) inch rolling diameter instead of 22.5....... in effect a sportier lower ratio gearbox... supposedly a bit quicker off the line and a slightly improved top speed (on the 155s) and better staying power (particularly on the 145/70s) up the top end... going by both the speedo and my arse cheeks.
quite possibly just all in my head however!
