I brought my Plum Crazy home yesterday from Indy,  drove very much like my Top Banana. 
The Tires are Good Year 20 inch.  It seems like the ride is a little stiff.  It seems like it maybe should have come
with 18's.  Will my ride be smoother if I go back to those?
Thanks for any thoughts/ideas!

Yes i do believe that the smaller rim size will give you more sidewall which gives you more cushion in the tire to absorb the bumps.

smaller wheel size + larger aspect ratio = more "cushioned" ride  :2thumbs:

The Sublime my brother's looking at has 20s also.  I think they ride rougher.  Must have been an 07 thing.

My '08 Daytona had the 20's (chrome clad rims) on it....really wasnt TOO bad even on crappy NYC streets...

ITSA426 is correct.... '07 started the 20" chrome clad wheels
