forgive me for sounding out like a real newbie here but isn't this true only for foams.
would there be any advantage to the 16/19 conversion if rubber tires were used since there wouldn't be any tire split?
thank you though for all this info as I'm sure it'll somehow serve me in good stead in the future once i do run foams as well.
