S4 upgrades

[Livolsi, Stephane]

Geez, what kind of smooth roads are you guys riding on with 18 and 19"
wheels?
Around here you have to consider carefully about even upgrading to 16"
because you feel every little crack in the road - (not to mention they
put enough gravel (not sand, gravel) on the roads in winter that it may
as well just be a gravel road)

Seriously though, doesn't your ride comfort go downhill with such big
wheels?
