i run 19's with 225/35....firmer, but not overly so....its when you hit the big pothole that really hurts.

Default I run 235/235/19 size tires
That's the best size for 8-8.5 inch wide tires as it keeps the speedo accurate. However, next time I would probably consider a tire size with a taller sidewall so that I could have better rim protection and a better ride.

Default A lot of the ride comfort depends on the tires.

Default I've had both 18" and now 19"...
Size = 235/35/19

Ride quality is almost the same as 18". The only downside IMO is that I'm more concerned with potholes, etc. BBS are quite expensive
