Thanks JCL! I thought the 19's and Sport Package were tied together - glad to know decouple them!

So I could get the Sport Package with 18's and keep them for winter and go buy some "cool" 19's or 20's with rims (I like those Vredestein treads!)

My only other advice is to go drive an E70 with and without "sport"
to at least get the feel of the difference in suspension response,
handling, etc. Most of us love/like the "sport suspension"; some find
it to be too stiff/rough after they have bought the car. So, grab a
couple of E70s, (gas version is fine), for a test spin, back to back.

And, regardless of your pick, cop a set of 17s or 18s with dedicated
snows for your YYZ Winters. You will love them and, much easier than
locating winter tires in bigger sizes, mounting/remounting on your summer
rims, etc., imo.

mD - thanks for the advice. I've only tried out the stiffer one and loved it...but I'll go back to do both together. Thanks again.
