What kind (size) of wheels and tires do you have. I feel okay with my tires.
I thought 20" should be more pumpy than 17" or 18".

My Ride: 535D Sport Auto
I took off 18" rf's and put on 19" non rf. The ride was better with the 19's but only marginally. Its still hard over bumps at slow speed with the M sport suspension. But then if I want a nice ride I'll get a Merc :thumbsdown:
