Decided to hold off on the 19s. Still thinking about a SL55...but did buy BFG G-FORCE- KDW2 - the ones with the cool tread pattern. So far - they are a HUGE improvement of the stock tires. Better ride, more solid, nice feel overall. No rain yet here in FL - but will let you know. As for any complaints about them being loud - yes they are more pronounced than stock, but I will take a little noise for the overall improvement in the ride.
