Really? I've noticed the exact opposite. Generally speaking, when you upgrade to a larger diameter wheel, you go with a lower profile tire in order to keep a relatively close overall diameter. For example, a 225/55/16 tire will be close to the same overall diameter as say a 235/40/17. Not only does the larger sidewall tire tend to flex more when cornering, it also absorbs more of the road imperfections. If you hit a pothole with a 40 series tire, you're gonna feel it a lot more than you would with a 55 or 60 series tire. IDK, maybe it's just me.
