I like it, now being the same Aspect-Ratio I've run on my C-5 for 19 years without any issues whatsoever.
It is the lowest aspect-ratio I'd prefer, though my '18 base-car came with the lower ones. Something else to consider with a taller aspect-ratio is a little better wheel protection. For the street I think your new A-R makes better sense than stock and does not entail a significant performance hit if limited to the street. Also, see all the people who have reported wheel damage (though usually with GS or Z wheels). And, no, just having stiffer side-walls of run-flats is not that great of protection as opposed to taller side-walls, even if somewhat softer.
Thanks for being a guinea pig and the info.
