Bill covered alot, but it all comes down to weight, diameter, sidewall and width.

Overall diameter can have a big impact as it changes the final drive usally short is better.

Width - Wider is better in most cases, but if you run a diffenent tire in front vs rear the stagger between these is imporant not just width.

Sidewall - Shorter sidewalls mean less flex and the means more responsive car.

weight - lighter is better.


So when you consider ll 4 factors it can be complex since some are some what exclusive of each other and some are not . However all must be balance by availble tire sizes, wheel sizes and what fits on your car.


Also that thing call budget.
