S85 Classic vs. P85 Autopilot Comparison

[Drucifer]

Great synopsis. I agree 100% except I have air suspension and originally had 19" + Goodyears, but switched to 21" and Continentals (Contisilent magic tires) and find that the ride is only very slightly firmer/less comfortable, but the loss of comfort is worth the gain in handling - but again SAS, not coils.

So I credit the coils for the harsher ride. From a practical standpoint - 19" are really the better choice for comfort, range and tire longevity. I'm just a sucker for the turbine wheels.

Good to know. And it wasn't very bad or a significant difference, but it is definitely smoother in my car. Maybe you'll have to take me for a ride in yours to compare (I do have the loaner till morning lol).

I actually very much like the look of the 19" wheels (once I get my calipers painted hint hint!). I figure if I end up wanting the turbines, I can buy the T-Sportline 19" one and keep my 19s if I ever go North again. That said, I am much more likely to just upgrade to better tires than the Goodyears. That will be a while though. My repair order has my all my tires at 10/32" all around except both rears are down to 9/32" on the outside. I was surprised to read that given that negative camber wear that people complain about typically shows as inner wear, not outer wear.
