I run 19s already and don't mind the ride at all. I did a full suspension refresh last summer (truly EVERYTHING with Porsche M030 ROW parts) and the ride is just fine. Current tires are Continental Extreme Contact DWS.

I have another set of 19" claws and after a bit of research have pretty much settled on Michelin Pilot Alpin tires next autumn.
