Wheel and tyres for comfort

I currently have 20" wheels and tyres fitted (with correct inflation and nitrogen filled) to my 4.4 RR and I can feel every minor rut or ridge in the road, what combination of wheels and tyre sizes will give the smoothest ride ?

In my experience any of the 19" Styles give the best ride overall Thumbs Up

I was always very happy with the ride my 18's gave - at the end of the day the more sidewall you have the softer the ride will be. Obviously there is a performance tradeoff.

I noticed a big difference in ride swapping to 17's however was pleased with the increased cornering ability.
