    Why choose a larger tire size?

    I just bought a new Civic. I picked the LX trim level in part because it came with a 16" tire size. The DX trim comes with 15s and the SI comes with 17s. I have no idea why I think bigger is better. Larger tires weight more and cost more. What is gained by getting larger tires?

    Ionic Air Purification Work or not

    Went to the State Fair and ran into this guy selling Ecoquest Ionic Air Filters. Does this technology really work? Internet research seems to indicate negative ions might be beneficial but I could not find any non-manufacture research related to the negative ions ability to clean the air.
