I'd imagine the rubber band style tyres aren't helping, plus I'll bet they're extra load rated for even less comfort

Yep, they are xl

Yep, they are xl

The car isn’t uncomfortable by any means… it rides extremely nice but id imagine the bumps would we just a little quieter… maybe im wrong

Make and model of tyres ?

Well then, that's the compromise isn't it. Better handling and feel, but the extra steel results in compromised ride quality.

Why did you get XL tyres? They're unnecessary on a 1.9 and not what the car is rated for, plus unless you have the tyres up to 38+ psi they're're not even being used right.

Btw I only know all this because I went the other way. I bought mine with XL tyres and hated the crashy ride. Once I replaced the lot with regular tyres it the ride was SO much quieter and smooth, but the car then handled like a mobile bouncy castle

You have to decide what matters more for you and for me I'll take the ride it's meant to have.

I would take the ride as well probably… i like to drive fast sometimes but I’d rather have comfort
