Question type: Shopping & Pricing

The A5 Sportback with 19" tires looks fantastic vs. the standard 18" but can
you provide a comparison of the driving features and comfort between the
two?

19’s will give you better handling due to lower profile. However the ride will suffer, tire life will be shorter, and cost more money. Just stick with the stock units as that is what it is designed for.

There will be negligible differences. But in general the larger the diameter, the less side wall, so less comfort, but better handling in corners. Of course larger diameter tires cost more and you will need to buy rims as well. Type of tire will also contribute to the handling and feel. Be it a different between all season or summer tire and even different manufacturers.
