You have to go to 18": 235/245-40 fronts and 295/305-35 for rear. A bit more air but keep it around 33/38 psi cold.

look at the specs for 305/30/19 and find a tire with near as possible overall diameter. You have to use a 35, but youre going to be pressed to find one with near same diameter

I bet your tires are over inflated. Start there, and see if your ride improves. GL and welcome to RL.

you need this, it changes the comfort of the ride significantly (im assuming your car has PASM).

You can usually find them used for about $900 in classifieds

What are your tire's DOT code dates?
