Tire sizes... missing the point?

Spridgeteers,

Why get all bent out of shape trying to wedge huge rubber under the
fenders of a spridget?  I have driven vehicles that stick to the
pavement better than my sprite with 145s (at least that was my
perception).  But is that more fun?  I don't think so... you have to
drive the vehicle to scary speeds to really push.  I'd rather slide my
sprite around any day -- but then again I'm the dorky safety guy who
was asking about seatbelts a few weeks back.
