Tire issue

[Brad92accord]

So i recently swapped my stock setup for the winter which is my steelies with hubcaps and regular touring tires. What I had on there before was my 5th gen 7 spokes with toyo proxes 4. MY question is, Could swapping the proxes to the touring tires affect the way by cars throttle responds (ie. Seems to go slower)?

I noticed that when i had my proxes setup, my car seemed to move quicker.

Well, the Proxes are performance tires, and you now have touring tires.

I wouldn't think you'd be able to feel the difference with daily driving, but I could be wrong.

[Brad92accord]

i dont know..it just feels a little slower now. I didnt drive it for almost a week because of the snow the Northwest got pounded with this last week.

A heavier wheel and tire will slow acceleration, just like a heavier flywheel they take more work(HP) to spin.

Steels are heavier than alloyss.

Is there a difference in tire size between them??
if so and they are a larger size then yes off the line you would feel a little more slugish, lower profile tires spinup faster then taller tires.
also cake has another point to heavy rims with larger tires that would do for shure
