luci5r....
Changing to a 18" or 19" wheel / tyre combo is not always an upgrade.
Driving on the street with your current size wheels with a set of good quality tyres will be more than adequate over larger wheels with low(er) profile tyres. Eye candy is a different proposition though....
Tyre choice can be confusing but if you want the best go with Michelin Pilots or Continental Conti Sports - they are more expensive initially but their lifespan, grip and quiet running are better than most for us mere mortals - plus going to a 18" setup is much more expensive for little or no gain for the type of driving (basic city) you are proposing.
