Finally, After 3 years... bigger wheels/tires on the front...

Well, not quite 3 years, but close :)

I finally got the wheels I got from SATO put on the car (waited until it needed new tires all around). With the biggtr tires on the front, it makes a dramatic improvement in how well the Smart handles.

I normally drive about 8 miles on the Interstate to/from work, and around here 75+mph is normal traffic. The Smart used to wobble a little, but now it's pretty smooth and solid at 80+mph. Definitely worth it if you can find extra wheels for yours.

Jody....

Would they be as wide as the rear tires??

Yes, in fact, they are all the same size now. 175/55R15's which is the stock rear size.
