19"=Yes; smoother= Yes; quieter= Yes; Handling = Yes. The topic of OEM tires is now on another thread. MPSS are getting alot of positive comments there as well.

 

Hang on to your 15-spoke wheels for me for when I get a DB9 I'd love to get an '07-08 with the Sports pack and use the split 5 spoke forged wheels for track escapades and the 15-spokers for street use. I like the way they look better for some reason, even if they (probably) suck to clean.

 

I've actually done a 180... I now like the 15-spokes from the couple of days I've had the DB9. But the 10-spokes in the photo I put up earlier are still very attractive. So much to buy, so little money!

 

Yes, typical ride quality for '07 DB9 with OEM Bridgestones, especially if they are worn. Like you, I'm switching to a softer tire from the OEM BS, which, in combination with the Sport Pack suspension, render the car way too firm for in-town driving.

 

Put 295/35 and 245/40 PSS and made some difference. Think 11,000 miles in 8 years, shocks are the problem. Next thing to change. This car cannot have such a hard ride. Any aftermarket suggestions?

 

Switched to the brand new Conti DSW 06, all season, still great grip and noticeably softer ride, even with the larger 245/285 f/r setup. Still, not anywhere near as soft as with the Jag XKR (e.g.). AM suspension is decidedly more 'track'-like, hence the harder ride.

 

Think I need to take another one out to compare. Would hate to replace shocks and land up with same ride quality. Appreciate the response.

 

Did you manage to make any improvements to your suspension? I would really like for more Jag like ride quality from my DB9.
