18" 264's or 19" V710's for DD & Track

As the title says...what do you guys think. I'm thinking that 18's on the track would work best, but I ran across a killer deal on some 19" V710 and it's hard to pass up.

I would say look up tire prices and decide if the price difference is worth the upgrade. The performance differences are really irrelevant unless you're out there competing.

My vote: 18's. More tire options, cheaper to buy, easier to live with on roads that are not glass-smooth, easier to run wider tires and avoid rub, etc.

But different strokes for different folks.

Ya, my thoughts as well. I also thought about using my stock 18's on the track and VMR's on the street.
