Tyres

Does anyone know are higher profile tyres more bouncy than lower profile i have 235/55/17 and sometimes i feel it can be quite bouncy at times  it could be the Berlin roads but wondered if anyone has any similar experience.

I thought about roof boxing the X5 when we go camping, but I think it's ...
