Have 20's on the E70 and cant believe how good the ride is......from reading this though I can only assume this is down to the adaptive drive.

am yet to drive a friends 40d with 19"'s but will compare the 2 then.

I would imagine that does have something to do with it yes as the RRS and cayenne had the equivalents

The RS5 audis I borrowed before I put in the order for the RS4 were running 20s and yet the ride was pretty good which again I assume is down to the adaptive suspension as normally Audis are pretty shocking

Cheers guys! Think I will swerve the 22s and head towards some 20s - ride isn't an issue for me, I've just had a 120d msport on 18" rfts so hopefully not be much worse!

Now to track down some 333s - more than happy to swap + cash with anyone in the uk who isn't happy with the ride!
