You can feel more of the road, the only downfall is though that you can also feel the irregularities of the road and if you come in contact with a pothole you may have some straightening to do. I pay attention to the road though so I am always dodging stuff. I wouldn't go back to 15's. I run 255/55/17 Eagle RS-A on my 69 Charger. Magnum 500s. Modern and still retro. It's a classy upgrade.
