Do that with Agility R14 if you can. :)

I hope you understand that you lost a bit of performance, especially acceleration compared to OEM wheels...

Yes, I understand that.
For a OEM size tire I had to wait, and after a incident involving a wet road, a pedestrian crossing, an old lady, and me sliding less then 3 feet in front of her on Cheng Sh*t tires waiting was not a option.  ;)

What got lost on the bottom went to the top. I'm sure there is another 1-2 mph there now.

Probably lost a bit of agility (pun intended) too.

Yup, I will probably put lighter rollers when it's time to change the stock ones.  ;)

Um, there's both versions available, it's easy to google.

The Agility City 125 and 150 is available (different markets don't offer all models)
with 100/80-16 and 120/80-16 tire sizes (front & rear).
