19s are a great choice for our shocking UK roads. :thumbs:

I've driven 19's and 20's back to back and i'd certainly agree that the 19's make the car ride that much better
However, you get a trade off with the initial bite on turn in as the extra little bit if flex in the sidewall distorts just that little bit more. I'd also say overall grip was marginally higher on the 20's, but then I was going from Goodyear 19's to Pirelli 20's. But then, another trade off is also that the 20's track a bit worse on smaller bumps and imperfections, so where you lose you gain if that makes sense
19's look cool though and that blue with black styling is a cracking looking motor
