My only question is what rubber did you put on your rims? Feeling the road more really doesn't have anything to do with the size of the rim it is what rubber you put on.

with a lower profile tire more of the shock is transmitted to you vs. being absorbed in the sidewall

What size 17 inch tire would prevent the rough ride?

You can't get enough sidewall on a 17 to stop a bad ride. I suggest avoiding the bumps.

<< What size 17 inch tire would prevent the rough ride? >>

the only other option you have with 17's is to go with some 215/45/17 instead.
