What's the ride like on 35 series tires?

Hey gang - I am about to get a new pair of shoes for baby and was wondering what your opinion on the ride quality of 35 series tires? I am a little concerned about the ride becoming 'harsh'. I am interested in the Voks GTM 19x9.5ET23 and 19x10.5 ET21. No drop.

I appreciate any wisdom you can share with a brother.

Thanks!

it's a little more harsh, you can really feel the joints and irregularities in the road. It feels more sharp and abrupt. After a couple of days you'll get used to it.

It's not too noticeable. If you don't plan on dropping the car, you might reconsider as your g will look like an SUV especially with those offsets.

i have 35 in front and 30 in the rear and the ride was a bit hard. I also have 20's so the ride is a lot different from stock. I did drop the car as well.

same as above...with the drop I feel like you hear the road/tire contact along more..in other words more noise...its pretty much feels the same to me. In fact I find that they ride a bit better than the oem 18's and 19's. Just my personal opinion.

I have 20's, 35 front and 30 rear without a drop.
The ride seems a touch more stiff than the OEM 19's, but I like the "harsh".
Too floaty and I feel like I'm in my grandma's car.

jamn, be prepared for a harsh ride... its going to feel a little rough. well, it all depends on what you rode on before the G. I came from a 1985 supra with crap suspension....so after slapping on 19s on the G... the bumps didnt feel that bad to me

im running toyo t1r's 245.35 in the front and 285.35 in the rear. the road is harsh but i just assume thats its because of my tein s-tech springs. i had falken azenis with the same tire size and i guess im just too use to it now to realize. lol
