I've got an '00 and '01 Aero with identical suspensions, refreshed at the same time. The only difference are tires:
'01 - 17" BBS RKII rims, 235-45-17
'00 - 17" Klingon rims, 225-55-17
On the '00, the 55 series tires make a huge difference in ride quality. the 55's give the car a soft quiet and cushy ride. The '01 feels firmer, more precise and more aggressive.
Around town, over bumps and RR tracks, I'd choose the '00 every time. But FWIW both feel great on the open road.
This is truly an apples to apples comparison. I did all the same suspension work on both cars at the same time, with all of the same components. I was shocked at the difference that tires alone make.
