It's not really the wheels that make the difference, apart from allowing wider tyres. But the width, type/tread and the pressure of the tyre can make a big difference. Probably the age of the tyre as well. There are many signifcant variables.

It would be really interesting to test some of these cars against one another in "as new" condition, but that's never going to happen.
