Interesting. It was always my understanding that the larger wheel and lower profile tire always delivered superior handling, with some negative influence on ride quality and higher susceptibility to bent rims. But you're saying the 18" delivered better handling. Was the better handling solely because of the weight reduction? If both the 19" and 18" were the same weight, wouldn't the 19" handle better?
