^^^This, for sure. non-RFT will significantly improve ride and road-feel. I did this (on 18" staggered), from factory Conti5 RFTs to Conti ExtremeSports; Now on Bridgestones s007. I haven't run 19's, but most reports are that it is a bit harsher ride, heavier (so you notice the bumps), and more prone to blowouts over potholes or other impact. And I think cast wheels are OK if they come rom a reputable maker, but they won't be the lightest. I'm on OZ sthat are cast/rotary forged and they came highly recommended as better than factory.
