what tires do you use?

Had the stock wheels and tires for a while. Currently on RPF1 17x9 with 255/40 Continental DWS. Also added Tein Monosport coilovers when I changed my wheels. Overall the ride quality felt about the same. Bumps sucked before, and they still suck now.
I could probably get used to using my car for daily commuting, my music usually drowns out most of the noise anyway. It just isnt the optimal car for commuting in my opinion.
My car only has 10k miles after two years though, its really just a weekend fun car. Mass transit works way better for commuting to work in NYC.
