Tire dilemma (205/40-17 too hard a ride)
I have 205/40-17 that are almost worn out and I am trying to figure out what to get next.
I don't like how harsh the ride is and how the tires track with the road so much. I want something with a taller sidewall.
Should I try to sell these and go back to a 15" rim? I traded my 15" steelies for 17" with the 205/40-17 on them.
Any suggestions to make the ride better?

I've noticed a fair amount of people going back to 15" on their xB/xA and getting lighter wheels for the mpg & ride quality... you could of course go get some stretched steelies and rock the hellaflush look
What do your have for a suspension setup?

I lost 40 miles to a tank when I switched to a 17" wheel and a 215/45R 17 from the stock 15" wheels. I ended up switching back to my stock wheels
