Am I in the minority?

Reading many posts about our cars, i see 2 things that always seem to stand out to me, that is wheel size and fuse 19...
I'm curious to know if there are any others out there that like me that prefer fuse 19 installed and have also traded a 20" wheel for a 19" wheel.

As I have the N/A engine, Fuse 19 doesn't apply but I'm with you on a preference for 19" rims. After two XK8's and now on my second XK on 20" Kalimnos, I've had the opportunity to use 18", 19" and 20". For me the 19" is definitely the best compromise for comfort and damage resistance from potholes. The 19" Carelia on my last 2007 XK were much better.

Both my old 07 XKR and current 10 XKR have 20" wheels and I don't find the ride a problem. The 5 litre ride can be softened a little by switching out of dynamic mode if I have a passenger of more delicate disposition.

Fuse 19 firmly in. I prefer to draw less attention to my driving. Dynamic mode is there for fun.
Mine has the 20" Nevis wheels which I like too much to change but I would expect that the 19" wheels on an XKR would be dynamically better. I guess you have felt the weight of these 20"ers! On German roads out of towns, the ride is OK. It only feels a little stiff at low speeds in towns where the roads are poorly patched. It is generally a comfortable car.
