At here, road condition in some province may not suitable for 19". Sometime I may have trip with my friend or family. So, 18" will not suitable with my life style.

The reason that I must upgrade to 18" because my OEM 17" will not fit the BBK that will reach me next week.

And the second reason was tire cost.

I will have a meeting with friend at track with two month a time or may more with weekend and holiday. So, I may change around 1-2 set of tire with in one year.

19" tires were double price of 18" tires. "_"
And not easy to find. So, most of 19" lover have to put a special order and wait around 2-3 months from the local agent. To import by individual will cost more.
