Also have an 03 Aero SW.
What type of tires and how many miles are on the tires? Tires can get noisy as they wear, especially towards the end of the useful life. The specific tire and tire pressure can cause varying harshness levels.
I found the 17s a little harsh, but not unbearable so you may have some other things to look into first as mentioned above. 16” tire size can be either 225/50R16 for better handling or 215/55R16 which is stock and perhaps a little softer riding. I find my winter 16s less harsh than the 17s but sacrifice a little handling (there still on the car so it can’t be all that bad). I find the harshness depends what you are used to driving. The 9-5, particularly with the sport suspension package is not as smooth when it gets bumpy as some cars. But then the 9-5 shines on smooth sweeping highways.
