stiffer for sure, but not uncomfortably so (to me)

Default They're totally uncomfortable to me..
But I also installed Raffi's new cactus seats with the wheels, so maybe it's just the combo.

Default Depends on the weight and tire...
I went from 18s w/Kumho 712s to lighter 19s on Michelin PS2s. Far better handling but only mildly harsher, much less than I expected compared to when I went from 17s to 18s. My MINI has heavy Pirelli 17" runflats...they ride far worse than my 19s.

Default I've had 18's and 19's in the same wheel and they ride...
almost exactly the same. So I say go with the 19's!
