Make the ride harsher??? What kind of suspension do you have? My suspension made my car much more comfortable to drive and handles better... lol.

I don't think my suspension is harsh (personal preference, as is yours). Sorry, have been around guys that have crystal lower sides too long, they think my suspension is harsh, so i justa said that.
Eiobach spinrgs 0.75" lowering - flexibility to handle bumpy roads), KYB AGX adjustables and Eibach sways w/ 205/55R16 RE01R's.
The only problem is the front sway, too stiff for lower speeds (high understeer, which made me set the front shocks to all the way soft to compensate with all the downsides that came from it...).
Someday I will take the front sway out and go back to stock to be able to set the shock back to weere it should (still to be tested to know were).

Mylittlecivic - I believe what conceptualpolymer is trying to say is that if you start with 185/65/14 (which I *think* is your OEM size), and then go to a 215/50/17, you get this result:
Diameter Difference: 7.86%
Speedometer Difference: 8.532% too slow
Which would mean that if you are driving 60MPh, your speedometer would show 55.2MPh. Normally when you go to a larger tire you go to a lower (i.e 40 series) tire with less sidewall so that the overall diameter remains (approximately) the same.
