The rush to tout the use of thinner, "metric" rings is another silly, poorly informed, myth as it relates to a common "cruiser" vehicle. Under the normal driving circumstance the best that can be said is quicker break in/wear in is typical. The negative side is less use/mileage before wear takes a toll while there is no measurable improvement in any characteristic important to daily driving.
