It DOES make the sidewalls SEEM slightly taller, because there's not only more tire width, but more of a square shoulder and more vertical sidewall.

What tire did you get again? If it's a summer tire, I'm surprised that there's no perceived ride degradation.

These are the Goodyear Eagle F1 GS-D3's. I think Tirerack lists these as a "max performance summer" tire. Ride seemed AOK to me, I'm running them at the factory pressure spec of 33 psig. I might notice it more as I get some miles on them, but it's not a night and day thing, like when you go from a 40 to a 30 series sidewall, for example.
