You have SOME choice of color (of leather) but not much. You might try, when you order, to specify the BRAND of tires you want. Mine was ordered with the 19" extra size and came with Continental tires. BAD! tires hydroplane at low speeds and DO NOT produce the expected mileage by 3-4 mpg (high rolling resistance and higher than normal rotations/mi). I have complained to the dealer but no word yet what they are going to do about it. Both Pirelli and Michelin make tires for this fitment. Specify and see what the dealer says. Tell them what you require and insist!
