Tim,

Besides balance, heavier tires and wheels (heavier than 14" OEM) tend to find weaknesses in everything in the front end.

This has mystifyed me for a while. How are the 390mm TRX's a 14"? My math makes 390mm equal to 15.35 inches. This makes the 16" upgrade even less than a "plus 1'. Am I wrong? Help me out here.
