any increase in weight of the wheel/tyre combo will increase the "heavyness" of the steering

low profiles need about 35ish PSI - but you really should ask the people who fitted the tyres that...

plus the ride quality would be more bumpy

plus the wheels would probably be wider, going from 14" to 17". So it would make the steering heavier too

realised that 7 - 10 pa more air volume does make different :D , now it is less heavier, but my :honda: would still consume more pertrol i guess :confused:
