Default 20's vs. 22's

The roads in Illinois aren't the best and can be kinda harsh with stock tires and Hotchkis TVS/Edlebrock IAS's. I really like how 22's look, but not sure if the ride quality is going to suffer that much. Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Darrell

I don't know about the 22s but I recently took the air pressure in my tires down from 33ish all around to 26 or so, made a huge difference. I think it rides as smooth as with the stock wheels now, I don't think it would be a good idea for towing though. I've got Goodyear Eagle GTII 285/50s btw

i had the gt2 275/45/20s before, and now i have 265/35/22s and the ride is comparable but better handling.
