Lowered cls with 20's & 255/30 and 305/25 tires?
Hows the ride quality on a lowered cls with 20's & 255/30 and 305/25 tires? Is it decent cuz of the airmatic or just as bad as any other car?

I can speak for my car which has 245/30/20 & 295/25/20 it is a little stiffer which I like but not harsh some even tell me I doesn't feel like 20" because it so smooth.

Car handles much better, but you can definitely feel the road and bumps much more than stock wheels. Smoother than other lowered cars I've had, but you will definitely notice a difference compared to stock.

I sacrificed comfort for look. With low profile tires you feel everything on the road. But a lot smoother than other cars i have had. Compared with stock wheels is night and day. I keep mine around 32psi.
