18" better for lots of track use , as the tyres are cheaper if your talking slicks etc ...

They dont do cups in 18 , so only 19 , depends how many track days your thinking of doing , and how serious about going full slick or cups really ... cups are great , but expensive if you do lots :thumbs:

I got Toyos on my Mac, been well chuffed with them, warm up quickly but not too clever in the wet. What do 19" cost?
