I notice an enormous difference in how the bumps feel when I switch to my winter wheels.
The summer wheels are 275/60/20 Michelin Defenders, winters are 245/75/17 E-rated BFG KO2s.

The BFGs are 10-ply E-rated, and the increased sidewall absorbs the bumps far better than the 20" Michelins, even if they are a bit noisier on the road.

As soon as the summer tires require replacement, I will be shopping for another set of 17" rims. The 20" OEM alloys may look nice but they're tough to see from the cab and my comfort is more important to me.

We know that the solution is a tire with more sidewall but...

The ride isn't bad enough that I'd consider going to a smaller wheel size. While it's a valid suggestion, I like the look of the 20's and I think I the 275/60R20 has enough side wall to where that isn't the MAIN issue.

BTW, the OP hasn't been seen since mid-September.

17" Tires are also less costly than 20"
