well Ken, your 100/90/19 on wm4 front tire places your contact patch further from the center of effort of the tire when you lean into a turn. That makes your steering heavier and less precise than a 90/90/19 tire on a wm3 rim. Your steering is inherently slower than the narrow tire.
But since your contact patch is larger, your tire's grip is better than the narrow tire...
The narrower tire is also lighter weight than your fatter tire which helps it's suspension performance be superior to the fat tire.
You can make all kinds of claims for your preference being "the best choice" , but you can't change the laws of physics...
As I said above there are always trade offs where a choices are made. Tires are just another specification governed by the laws of physics that have compromises, which should be acknowledged... even by you.
I'm not even saying you're wrong about your preference being a good choice. I just wish you would acknowledge the nature of the compromises of your choice,... and the other possible choices too. Instead of just saying. "I'M RIGHT"!
