I have 18's (225/40 Blizzak runflats) on my 330xi right now and sometimes I cringe coming from orleans on the 17 -...I've already banged one of my wheels and had to do an alignment one other time. Even going into the mall one has to be careful as there are some massive potholes in parking lots.

IMHO - 20 or 19 are great in southern cali where they dont have to worry about freezing rain/runoff causing massive cracks and potholes but not so good up here - and if you're ever in Hull/Quebec - the roads feel even worse...

I've heard that going to non-runflats have improved ride quality but some have said that they miss the instant response at turn-in as the sidewall flexes. Also Im not 100% sure but I dont think that there are any 19" runflats so there is that as well...

I also thought about 19s for the summer as well but im going to stick with 18s for the summer as well for all the reasons stated above.
