Thanks for tour recommendation but I’m about selling off this little ugly box I hate it noise IT connectivity steering narrow and soon after couple of months willThis is really an identity issue. There are advantages to larger tires, especially if you want to improve the handling. Might look more aggressive. And a premium brand might improve the ride.
Do remember that the factory ones are pretty generous for car with a sub 160 in length, a 2600 pound weight and a detuned 1.6 engine. As I've mentioned if you would like the look, go for it.
There seems to be rumors of a Venue N.
I suspect if it is produced, you can put the resized tires in your garage, transfer the originals back on and save the upgrades as a backup for the new N you will buy.
The N will probably have the 1.6 turbo which i have in my 2018 Tucson. The 175 hp engine would certainly give a boost to our little cars. And gas prices have got to drop. The phrase "A Hot Venue" has a nice ring.
Thanks mucho, very comfortable with informative. C & D seem to find the 17 in a useful up grade. Venues above the baseline have 17 in wheels. Possibly a wider tread might add something on a famously winding road. I have yet to push my Venue, although it certainly enjoy its responsiveness on the local twisties but I have no idea of its cornering limits. Perhaps an eager young member of the forum could comment.This is an interesting comparison of 15" to 19" tire/wheel combos tested on the same car.

So far I find the Venue to be a fun, small car with surprising agility. It ain't no mid 60's Mini cooper.
