Ride quality with 20x9 & 245/45/20 Goodyear Eagle RSA combo

[bstacey]

i recently put 20" voodoo wheels with falken tires on my car and am not real impressed. sure,they look great and always get comments but the ride suffers. very noisy, pull left occasionally and a completely different ride then the 18's.

My feelings exact.

You got it, fadertoo. You're a good sport!

I can only say that I feel mine rides like it's on glass. Freeway ride is nearly noiseless and very smooth. I hear engine noise over just about everything else, and that's only with the radio off. Around town I feel railroad tracks and manhole covers and the like that are up or down an inch or more from the road surface, but otherwise it's smooth there, too. I couldn't be happier with the ride. I know it's better than my 300M with 18s was, that I thought rode well, but it's eight years newer, so that has to be taken that into account. I'll have to borrow a C on 18s sometime and see what it feels like.

I would have to agree with you sir. I went from a 2006 300C AWD with factory 18's to a 2006 300C SRT8 with factory 20's. The difference was not very noticeable unless I accidently fell into a monster pot hole. Other than that...smooth as butter.
