Side Wall on 19'' vs 18''
Total newb related to how tires work.
How much less side wall does the 19'' wheels tires have relative to the 18'' wheel tires? The stagged performance tires (mixed performance 309s) if that makes a difference. |

245/45/19 fronts and 275/40/19 in the rears vs 245/50/18 all around or 245/50/18 front and 275/45/18 rear. You are basically giving up some ride quality with the 19s, but they still ride very well - not harsh by any means. There will be a difference in ride quality going from 50 series of the 18s to 45 and 40 series of the 19s, but as stated earlier - the ride is not harsh with the 19s.
