Suspension differences between factory tire options

While researching how I made a poor decision going with the RFTs on my 16 235 I saw mention of the suspension being tuned differently between the tire options.

If I buy a set of staggered wheels and put PSS on them, how different will the suspension actually feel compared to if I had ordered correctly from the get go?

Thank you for your help.

Not sure where you found that information, but I have never seen anything on individual suspension tunes for specific tires. If this were true, you could/should never change tire configurations.

RFT's have more "bounce" than normal tires and as such they change the way the car handles. Changing to a normal or regular tire will firm up the ride and tighten the handling of the car.

Awesome! Thanks for the help. I think it was somewhere on these forums, but I don't remember anymore.
