You know I was really disappointed when I saw my new Michelin tyres appear narrower than the Dunlop's I had on there previously. I am not sure how this is possible as they both had the same 160/60 profile but somehow the Michelin seems narrower and I am gutted ha! The do handle very nicely though now I have them scrubbed in so I am not really that bothered as handling is my top priority but as you said wider tyre kinda feels like bigger penis or something hahaha.
