If anything the cornering has improved due to the wider stance, and dropping 8 pounds per corner certainly hasn't hurt either.
Ride quality seems a little better, but it's hard to know for sure.

Obviously, the rim width impacts how the tire fits on the wheel-- sidewall stretch, etc. I understand what you're saying about the wider stance and reduction in unsprung weight. The contact patch might not be affected, but there is a difference in how the tire fits on 8.0 vs 8.5 width. I like to have a fairly "square" wheel/tire package. :smile:
