Has anyone run both and can comment on the change in ride?

would like to see where this goes?

I found it a touch less compliant on the ride, and slightly more susceptible to tram lining but it's very marginal. If your tracking and geometry is 100% you shouldn't suffer to much.

Remember your increasing weight of the wheels so it will be a touch more crashy before you loose tyrewall compliance (on the big or severe bumps).

225/40/18 deffo for me the 19s were horrible

225/35/19 was so bad I changed to 235/35/19 before changing back to 18s

I did end up switching to 235/35/19s after the first tyre change and it made a marginal improvement. You tend to get premature inner shoulder wear on the tyres when you run 19's in spite of correct geometry.

I still think for ultimate handling 18's are the way to go.

I thought about 215/40 on 18 but i heard to messes the speedo up. Where did you get you air ride?
