#5 of 6 19 inch wheels by pavewek Jul 15, 2008 (6:36 am)
would changing to 18 inch give a better ride to the Enclave? Replies to this message: millefune (Jul 16, 2008 9:38 am)

Replying to: pavewek (Jul 15, 2008 6:36 am) Changing them to 18" wheels from 19" while keeping the same overall diameter will theoretically give you a better ride as far as smoothness. However, the brand and model of tire will also play a factor. From what I remember reading around, the 19" wheels from the factory come with specially made tires to reduce noise and vibration compared to the tires on the 18" wheels that come from the factory. You would have to get the same model tires that came on the 19s or better, or your ride may suffer.
