Can't have it restricting your hobbies :-) I've found that most vehicles - not necessarily an SPG - are optimized for a combination of ride and handling for the "average" driver (of course). If you are willing to sacrifice a little ride comfort you can generally improve handling with lower sidewalls -properly done of course to preserve diameter and load rating. That means alloy wheels most of the time.
