My point is/was that I don't think that you will see any appreciable difference in handling between the 20's and 19's - how many of us are hitting the track or slalom every weekend.

...hence 20's are all show and no go

Don't think that the extra bling is worth the extra hassle of low(er) profile tires.

But hey its just my opinion, to each their own, its your ride and your wallet - do whatcha want.
you will feel the difference between the 19 and the 20. I don't hit the track with my x5. But take a 35mph corner @55mph, you will feel the oem 20 Dunlop is a right choice. I slalom everyday with all the damn potholes around town. The wider 315/35-20 rear tires will have a better traction then a 255/50-19 or 285/45-19. just my 2 cents
