Does anyone think the standard profile tyres are very thick?

Has anyone changed to a lower profile? The standard profile almost makes the wheel look smaller than it is.

On 19's I went down to 35's

Looks better
Handles better
Cheaper
More choice

Potential issue with insurance though?

Has anyone reduced the profile on their 18s?

I wouldn't reduce te profile, but would consider 225/45, they are a lot cheaper

No, the rims are designed to use that size tyre.

Who me??

I do think the rubber is too thick - most 18's on other cars have much less rubber on them and look lovely.

My 17 supersports on the 147 had a thinner tyre than what is on my Brera.
