The car really does ride much more solid, no more BANGING when I hit a bump in the road and best of all the tire noise is down by probably 50%. I am amazed on the impact this has had.
My car had 17's on it until December and I had the pressure set the same way I did with the 17's and that was all wrong for the 19's.
Just filled my rears to 42, fronts to 37. Gonna go drive around and give it a go. We'll see how my 19's. Run on new pressure.

Nice hour long drive in town and on the highway. Plenty of bumps and smooth roads along the way and I liked the feel and response. Also first time I've driven this car in a spirited way, she really responds @3-3.5k rpm gear shifts. In love all over again
