Can someone explain what difference wheel/tire size makes to a car's acceleration top speed road noise economy road holding handling ride etc. why and how much??!! Also what the different numbers mean:eg. 185/60 HR 14 80 H tires on 6 J x 14 wheels, alloy/steel etc. And are there any physical limitations on the wheel/tire choice for a given car?
