Best size is a based on ones perspective.
For those who want like the looks of the 19" rims, the bigger rims skinny tire combo tends to make cornering better and better grip on smooth summer roads.
For those like myself who like less bumpy ride, the smaller 17 inch rims with higher sidewall tends to have a more comfortable ride.
Still not as comfortable as other vehicles. I will be switching my 17" winters out for 16" all terrains here shortly to hopefully get an even smoother ride.
Also smaller 17 inch rims with more sidewall on tires which have better grip in winter and offroad.
So it comes down to preference

Exactly correct. That's why I loathe gigantic wheels. 17's are as big as I'd want to go on any normal daily driven car. And the only reason I say 17's, is 14's aren't hardly made anymore, and even 15's are getting hard to find. Plus, I don't think 15's will fit over our brakes.

I think you just liked the spiffs $$$ that Michelin gave out for tires sold...or maybe you got a thing for the Michelin man?
Kidding naturally, I like Michelins as well on some of my vehicles.
