It should handle better! But mainly because it's a semi slick soft compound competition tyre compared to a non-performance tyre, rather than because it's wider and lower.

These things rev too high on the highway already. And they drive just fine with a taller tyre.

Sure it lowers the car, but it also increases the gap from tyre to gaurd which is not a good look, and undersized tyres look all out of proportion.

Also, it's illegal over here to fit a tyre more than 26mm smaller in diameter. Other countries may have similar rules to consider.

Stock A12's get along fine with a taller tyre anyway. If I want mine to accellerate faster I give them bigger engines ;)
