Default 195/65 R 15 Altimax

I installed these tires on the factory alloys and have noticed an odd thing: Driving in rain the rear window hardly gets any spray on it! Before I put these bigger tires on, the rear window would require constant wiper action in the rain and now there is hardly any spray on it....???? Is this just pure coincidence or do the tires change the spray pattern somewhat?? Anybody else notice this?
The tires are great, due to the bigger size the ride is more comfy and the rpms slightly lower.

I keep forgetting that some people don't remove the rear wiper. Did you install a spoiler?

The car has always had the spoiler.... I just seem to notice the less spray now after the tires got put on....

It's not a coincendence, It's a sign, time to remove the rear wiper. It looks 300% better that way. ;)
