I’m confused
In this video
shows the opposite that most people say on this thread. He says that the 19” have better
Ride comfort because of lower tyre pressure
Grip in corners
Stopping distance
Faster acceleration time
So does that mean the only advantage the 18” is range?
Tire pressure should be 42 psi for either size. Not sure what pressure they set each wheel.
Weather and tire have a big effect on all the categories. As they did not test on the same day, the weather variable is an unknown. The tires do seem better on the 19" vs the 18" but that can be fixed.
Having all the variables equal (other than size), 18" will have better ride comfort, 19" will handle better, stopping distance and acceleration will not have a significant difference (although the 18" are slightly lighter that will get a minor advantage).
