Thanks everyone for the feedback. I did try the 19s at a dealership today and the ride was better but the car had adaptive as well. 19s in Sport on the adaptive was still a bit better than my current ride (20s on std M Sport suspension)

Considering the following 3 options:
1) Move to 19s. The dealership is willing to swap them out for me from one of their used cars
2) Keep the 20s and move to non run flats … but maybe switching out tires should come after moving down in wheel size?
3) Just sell the car. It has 350 miles on it… MSRP on it is $64K. Maybe I can get $57K? Stings but since I’m not sure #1 and #2 above will be enough to improve the ride, I might be better off taking the loss instead of pouring more money into the car.

What do you all think?
