Handling of 19 vs 20
What kind of handling / driving comfort differences are there between the 19 in wheels on the advance and the 20 a-spec or diamond wheels? Im trying to understand the pros / cons of wheel size on this car. I can find a bunch of general articles on the web, but Im curious about this specifically with the RDX. Thanks in advance for any info.

I am very impressed with the handling of my SH-AWD Advance.

1 - Width: A-spec tires are .7" wider (10" vs 9.3") so you have more rubber on the road. But keep in mind they also have different tires, not just a different size of the same tire.
2 - Sidewall: A-spec sidewall height is .6" shorter (4.5" vs 5.1") so all else being equal - which it's not - will result in a harsher ride because there's less tire sidewall to absorb road imperfections. But the shorter sidewall will make for a more stable tire during cornering.
3 - A-Spec tires also call for 36psi versus 33psi for other trims which will, again with all else being equal, result in a harsher ride.
