I see that the tyre width for R19 is less than for R18, any idea why?

On the Peugeot 5008, the 18" tyre is also wider than the 19". I believe it is because the narrower tyre is lower rolling resistance, so better for fuel consumption.

Correct, in Holland the 19 " is the only allowed size due to Climate Efficiency , glad I live in Germany, Standard 18" and for the winter 17"
