Yea 18" tyres generally doesn't cost much more than 17" tyres, and provides better grip due to their larger ground contact patch. The PZero's were 17", but when I upgraded to 18" I went for the KU31. Maybe just my luck but for some reason the set I had didn't balance well (had constant vibration even after several attempts at balancing). Then when one tyre had a nail in it too large to patch, I thought stuff that and bought a new set of KU39. Immediately after fitting the KU39 the improvement was noticeable. I really like this tyre so much now that I'm thinking of fitting the same tyres on my wife's car as well since it's due for a change soon
