funny how those without any experience of running 19z like to ass-ume. The ride on 19z is far better than 17z and 18z. Much more planted, more grip, and less mpg to pi$$ off the eco dudes. win win  :cool:

There is a slight increase in firmness when going from 18s to 19s...but the vastly better steering feel and the ability to change direction with a flick of the wrists, plus the better feel when loaded up, more than makes up for the slight increase in firmness.

I'd love some 19" BBS CH but the price of £1,400 plus tyres is a bit too steep for me.....
