Well, some of us prefer the firmer sidewalls and crisper turn-in and midcorner response. Normally I run on the P235/50R18 size for my summer set and I think they ride just fine but I know the roads in the Northeast tend to be subpar.
I would go with the normal P235/55R17 for winter but there isn't anything I wanted on Tire Rack that was within budget. I generally stick with Conti or Pirelli tires and they must meet the "Drive-by sound" requirements of the European Union (so I won't buy anything that isn't sold in other countries as well).
