I am considering getting 19" wheels and new tires for my CBP 2007 TL. I am in real estate so I drive a lot and am concerned about the ride quality. I know it will be worse, but it's already pretty harsh for a sport sedan.

Would love some feedback about how the ride quality changes. I plan on using Bridgestone 970 AS Pole Position tires. I am worried that I might absolutely hate the ride with the upsized wheels.

^honestly a lot of factors come into play. mainly, what size tire you go with on the wheels.

what wheels and tire specs are you looking at?

I jumped from stock 17" wheels with 245/35/17 tires to 19" wheels with 225/35/19 tires and it's a night and day difference as far as comfort is concerned.

I'm in the same boat.

So Aaron you're saying the ride on your 225 35 19s is pretty harsh compared to stock?

Thanks for the input. I have found a wheel I love made by Sport Edition model ST-4 which are 8.5 X 19 and the tires will be Continental DWS 245X35X19. I was considering 18's but thought I'd go for it. I did not think the 18's would really look that different.

How has the ride quality/comfort changed for you going from 17s to 19s? How do you like the Continentals? Are they the ExtremeContacts?

Ive had 19s on for about 1.5 years and I love them. Look is great and ride quality is good overall. Good Luck!
