Yes, EDC on comfort. But not the right car just because I don't want a crappy ride on OEM 19's? Funny.
Sure, the roads in Oregon are significantly better than those in California but that does not mean I have to give up my M cars- after all they ride perfectly on OEM 18's and PS2's (both my E46 and E90). The issue arises only on 19" wheels which I am trying to keep- but if it is not possible to resolve I'll sell the 19's and go back to 18's.
245/35R19 is a thinner/shorter tire than the 225/45R18's or 225/40R19's that came on our E46 M3's, on a significantly bigger car. I think 40 profile fronts would look fine. I'd put either 245/40R19, stock 265/35R19, or 275/35R19's on the rear.
