Big and Littles (tire sizes)
Who is running larger tires or tires/wheels in the back for that fat tyred look????
Has the fat rubbber affected ride or handling? i.e. more tread on the pavement, more grip, and heavier thus changing sprung/unsprung weight ratio....  Eh?

You can't do it if your PT Cruiser has ABS. With ABS the front and rear tires must be within 5% of each other. Otherwise it will work. I don't think there is any advantage to larger rear tires since the Cruiser is FWD.

I'd like to hear from anyone who's done it on a PT also. I tried it on a '64 Stingray (way back then) & the handling went to hell. After a 15 minute test drive on the freeway, took it back in & put same size back on the rear. Looked cool though! (No ABS on the PnuT.)
