Pleasantly surprised

Well, for the last 7 (colder) months, I've been driving on 17" Michelin Pilot Sport A/S Plus tires, and this week I switched to 19" Michelin Pilot Super Sport tires, and was really expecting a stiffer ride, but was pleasantly surprised to find that the ride was actually BETTER (not as jarring) on the 19s!

I can only attribute this to the construction of the all-season tires being firmer, and the summer tires being much softer.

The lesson here is if you are going to 19s, choose your tires very carefully. If you buy less sophisticated (cheaper) tires, yes, you might not be happy with the ride.
