With wide sticky tires on the 19's you have a pretty insane amount of corner grip but it does come at the price of increased road noise, tramlining, etc. In the end though the grip is addictive. Just don't try Summer tires now that it is below 50 degrees most days.
My original thoughts were to just get a set of let’s say 18” roadster rims with Yokohama Avid Envigor for winter and my 18" stock Yokohama Sports for summer, for easy swap out.

Thanks,

Alex

Or put the Avid's on your current rims and get the wide 19's for the sticky summer tires. Obviously they means getting rid of the current 18" tires - could probably sell them if they don't have many miles on them.

Yup!

Kinder like these Botticelli III from OZ in 19" !



The only issue I see with swapping the 18" stock rims and 19" Botticelli III is once I but the Botticelli's on I my never want to take them off! “LOL”
