Alas, I am slowly caving to the idea of 19.5's. The more I think about it, committing to using a very niche tire (Kanati) is probably a bad idea long term. While I may not end up being a fan of the stiff ride or the cost of the 19.5's, the tire options are numerous.
I think I just needed some time to marinate on the investment......
While you are marinating this idea, do not forget that 19.5 tires are likely to greatly outlast OEM sized tires. If feasible in your area, they are also made to be recapped. In addition to the added safety, long term they might actually be lower cost.
