That's true, hadn't thought of that. Isn't it only the ones with smaller rims (and therefore larger and more pliable sidewall profiles) though?

The spring rate of the sidewalls has to be different purely by their construction, so it has to make some sort of change. Maybe it's minor and insignificant, could all be worry about nothing , but there's plenty of "woe betide you if..." warnings out there about doing it and you'd think they can't all be urban legend surely..?

Never stops being confusing. My e92 handled like a sack of crap on RFTs, but my e90 320si (albeit specifically designed for handling) cornered like no saloon I've ever driven and easily as well as my e46 M3 - and ran the same RFTs as the e92 I replaced it with. Go figure..
