Will turn in be softer due to the increased sidewall?

How is tire availability with 16s? Seems like 17+ has more available these days.

If you're worried about having more sidewall, get tires that has stiff sidewalls. What tires are you looking on running to begin with? Personally, I'm partial to running Dunlop Star Specs up front. Advantage of running smaller rims is less weight...lets it easier to kick the rear end loose.
