Hi,
I will be shortly upgrading my stock alloys from 17" with 225/45/17 tyres to either:
1) 18" Alloys with 225/40/18 tyres
2) 19" Alloys with 225/35/19 tyres
The car is able to accommodate either with no rubbing so that's not an issue
19 look better in my opinion but 18 would be slightly more comfortable due to the higher profile tyre and cheaper
Now the killer question...I have spoken to a few people who say that the 19's will be back breaking over bumps / potholes? Would they really make a huge difference to ride handling / quality?
Does anyone have any experience or comments on this?
Thanks
