Yeah, mine came to the country with 19", but I had them swap them out for 17". I just personally have no interest in big wheels and tires. I like the 17's with narrow tires on for snow.

I too was concerned about the 19 inch wheel/ 275-45-19 tire. I was only able to test the 17 inch wheel combo, but ordered the 19 based on looks, frankly (the 17 looks too small), and comments from the dealer. I am highly impressed with the feel of the 19 inch. I traded a BMW X5 with 18 inch wheels for my '10 T'reg, and find the T'reg with the 19 inch wheel to be superior dynamically in every respect---turn-in, braking stability, straight ahead tracking, linearity and "set" in a corner, ---and to have a more compliant ride. I would recommend the 19 highly to anyone who is sport/performance oriented. With the diesel, this is one very remarkable vehicle that evokes its Porsche lineage. I do not know about winter performance yet with the wider, taller tire, but am prepared to buy snows if I have to.
