I’m considering 19 vs 20 inchers on an XC60 and wondering about likelihood of flats in pothole infested NYC. I think I’d prefer the 20s but really don’t want to have to be dealing with flats all the time. Appreciate any input based on experience.

I had 21" rims on my XC90 for about a year before i switched it to 19". Never had a flat, but all too easy to curb rash the 21's in NYC.

Great to know, thanks Keith. How much did swapping out the wheels cost you? And how did you find the difference in the ride between the two? Why did you make the switch?
