Everything is relative is it not Wilsonny...? I think this thread started out mentioning wheel diameter difference which can equate to sidewall height if the same rolling radius is retained to maintain speedometer accuracy, thus with a smaller dia wheel the sidewall is likely to be larger (higher aspect ratio) and more compliant thus providing a less harsh ride than with a larger diameter wheel. regardless of whatever spring shocker set-up is on the car...
Of course dependant of spring/shocker settings the ride can be altered to add or subtract a measure of harshness in the ride.
In my earlier post, I compared the difference felt between to 911 SCs, one was a sport the other a non-sport (comfort) model... as well as the difference in wheel diameter, the sport had stiffer shockers Bilstines as opposed to the Boge fitted to the non-sport, which would have added to the difference felt in ride quality.
The OP seems to have felt a measure of difference in handling by changing wheel diameter and tyres to match, with no alteration to suspension....?
I suspect oft times when we splash the cash to to match current "styles" comfort and a degree of handling can be lost...depends on personal prioritisation... :?:
