The road should be ok, this time of the year. But I'd still go with 19". As for the route, you should map it out with Google map, that's what I'd do.

Avoid the GW Bridge and New York City altogether.
Take I95 to the Palisades Parkway North to the Tappan Zee Bridge to the Cross Westchester Expressway to I684 North to I84 past Hartford to the Mass Pike to Boston.

I'd run 19s. Less chance of a blowout or flat tire on crappy roads.

hows cops there... no problem driving 90+?
Getting tagged at 95 in 55 in MA will cost you $400.
State and local governments are having major budget problems, traffic citations is one of the first places they go to prop up the local budget when times are tough. I have taken 10 mph off my average speed no matter where I go these days.
