And by big I mean...if you get a tire with a soft sidewall. You’ll notice a little bit of flex on turn-ins. But this all comes down to tire brand and the compound used.
It also comes down to how you drive your cars and a few other factors (but that’s a discussion for another day)
I find that a 245 is the sweet spot. It still gives a smooth and comfortable ride. But when you jump on it. You can take a corner with confidence.

I don't find this to be true at all. I run a 255/35/20 winter tire on 8.5" wheel on the front for my winter set up and it doesn't bulge at all. The rear of my winter setup is the same size tire on the 9" 373 and it has no rim coverage at all.
