Just fitted my new 17!inch winter wheels and tyres 215/60/17. Very impressed by how much better it rides the pot holes.Got a set of juke alloys cheap £50  were a bit scruffy, had them refurbed at a cost of £130 painted in a colour called German gray..  very close to the gray on the 19 inch wheels..

will put the 19 inch wheels back on for summer trip to France.. the roads out there are more suited to the lower profile... over here the roads are killing the car...

I also throw 19" on mine 2016 Kadjar. Together with 1,5 DCI and a chiptuning, I'm looking forward to spring to my trip to south of Germany :-)
By the way. I don't hear much noise due to low profile, but that might be because I've installed subwoofer and bigger loudspeakers

I think it's a good move, one slip up to the kerb with 19"s and it's payout time. That extra tyre wall height really helps in an urban situation. Looked at a PUG 3008 a few weeks back, 19" wheels but higher profile, better I think.

Hi , which tyres did you go for? Any noise increase? Seen Continental All Season Contact do as well now as Michelin Cross Climates.

Went for budget tyres with a rating of C fuel and C on wet weather... they are a lot quieter on the road got a lot of road roar with the 19 inch ... Cost of tyres were £46 each fitted no brainier with a rating of C
