QFT. 70 roll. LOL

They are designed to work with a skinny tire to provide the ability to lean as they turn/pivot. A wagon would be a better example to compare with a car. A larger tire gives you a larger area in which to spread the load. This means the object will handle better because the weight ir more distributed on the tire surface, making it handle more precisely. The only difference having a 235 on a wheel barrow would make would be the rolling resistance, but once it is rolling, you wouldn't be able to tell the 235 and 295 apart.

Lot more can go into that but yea pretty much.

Because 5.0 racecar.

You dont say?
