And if you run the 19s on the road, dedicate the OEMs to track duty at least for now maybe with something like AD08Rs if this becomes a habit. Smaller wheels and tires can also make the car feel more nimble due to reduced unsprung weight, which means they actually improve performance in all cases that aren't traction-limited.

Thanks, that the exact input I was looking for. The DINAN 19s are great but they are harsh on rough roads, even in comfort mode. I had 2 track days scheduled, 1 in June and 1 in July at Dominion Raceway and the both got cancelled. Looking for another now close to central Va. Any thoughts would be appreciated.
