I hear you there, the big problem is with the taller side wall, you lose a tremendous amount of handling potential.

That's a terrible thing to sacrifice, when through superior materials, and a well tuned suspension, at least some of the problems with the roads could be moderated.

Thanks for the input.

So you prefer the taller side wall for it's ability to help absorb imperfections in the road surface, not necessarily because you like the look of the Vintage/Taller sidewall.

Is this correct?

Thanks,
