Seats down, of course lol

I just bought my Corolla a few days ago. First timer! It's a great commuter car - maybe a bit slower in acceleration than I'm used to, and the wheel is a lot easier to turn than my old Ford focus hatchback.

But the reason I went with the Le is because the sales rep told me the only differences were the tire size for a sportier look, the sport mode switch (which I read honestly doesn't change much), and other asthetics like the seats/bumpers. I didn't realize there were internal changes, like suspension, that might have made the ride more fun.

If I end up getting 17 or 18" tires on the Le when it's time to replace them, even at the higher expense and louder/more vibratey ride, will it help me return to a more responsive feel (though not quite SE level)? Will the wheel feel harder to rotate/will it need to rotate fewer degrees for the same turn into a parking spot, for example? Or will the leisurely tuning and suspension in the Le not be well equipped for bigger tires?

I feel a bit of buyers remorse. But will be fine with the Le regardless, especially considering the resale value if I decide to upgrade in the next 15 years lol.

Specifically thinking at accelerating 0-60 for the highway, for example... I heard it's tuned differently?

Edit: 2026 specifically

Looking for something delicious tonight!

Not much else to say. I can't afford therapy. My hobbies all feel like meaningless distractions. I put my entire heart, soul and identity into being the best husband I could. I was happy. I thought she was, too. And now that it's done I don't even know where to start rebuilding.

It's been one year. I have definitely improved since then. I am not debilitated and crying on the floor anymore. But nothing and nobody makes me feel whole. I'm of the mindset that I need to start changing things for the better...but where do I start? And please don't say the gym. I've never enjoyed the gym. But I have already started running again.
