Several ideas:

1-Slow down, you will save gas, speeding tickets, medical bills, insurance costs, reduce risk that you might injure or kill others, etc. A very good move indeed.

2-Revisit the rebalance with the best shop in your area. The front tires balance on the Box are VERY sensative.

3- In my experience, the larger the tires and more contract area you have on the Box the more you will feel the road inputs in the steering wheel.

4-Chat with someone expert to insure that the move to 19s was done perfectly. Frankly, if memory serves, Porsche does not recommend 19s on the 986 but I may be wrong here.

5-Reconsider a move back to 18s. These were designed for the car and certainly don't disappoint most of us here.
