althought that may be true, with the Toyo's I purchased and Swift springs, the ride quality is the same if not better. It's very smooth and comfortable. Although, with the wider tires, the steering wheel likes to move a lot when going over large grooves in the road, but that's to be expected with so much surface area.

softer compound tires will definitely improve the ride, but my comment was solely based on the wheel/tire factor without including suspension as a variable. what your experiencing is bump-steer and that can be alleviated with some additional suspension bits.

yes, you are correct...i couldn't think of the phrase at the time BUT, I don't think anyone is going to put 19s on and not lower the car even if the rolling diameter is the same...but I understand what you are trying to say.

I was just thinking the same exact thing. But 18"s do look small sometimes.

Think I'm still gonna go with 19s.

I agree with this thread, 18s look small on such a big car

I cant speak for performance, but go with the 35, 30 has always looked too small for me.
