Hi, Are the 19" really that bad? I am from NJ too and placed an order on 4/7 M3LR/white/black/19" If I ordered with the 18" tires it pushed my order window from June/July to August/October. I don't want to change my order, but I'm hoping I don't regret it.
"That" bad, no. But after clipping a couple potholes, and repairs, my set are definitely not right. If I'm going to replace them wholesale anyway, it'll be back to 18s. No reason not to. The T-Sportlines give me the same look as the 19s, but on the 18" size.
no they are not...just to tree huggers and people with no butt that feel everything...my 19's are smooth and beautiful...I lived in Edison NJ where the roads were Garbage and also in Bayonne and Newark...you'll be fine with the stock 19's...
Oh trust me, plenty of padding here, but my 19s are definitely not straight.... nowhere near silky smooth as they once were. Repair is fine but not perfect. And if you saw my electric bills (even excluding both EVs) -- definitely not a tree hugger ... drive the cars fast and hard.
It's not that I don't recommend the 19s -- love the look and the initial ride -- but definitely more vulnerable to bending than the 18s. Really no question there.
