It's all part of the plan, the suspension doesn't always like low-profile, stiffer sidewall tires... Search, particularly Wheels & Tires forum here, before shelling out $$$.

I never heard of the seats being called 'hard' before. Maybe the springs have gone? Also, the 'boat' will feel really good after you spend 6-8 hours behind the wheel. Go out and drive it a long while, you'll get used to it, and probably like it!

Old BMW motorcycle joke:
Ninja Rider: "Wanna race?"
BMW Rider: "Um, OK..."
Ninja Rider: "1/4 mile, 1/2 mile, or what?"
BMW Rider: "How about to Chicago and back?"

There's speed, then there's speed with comfort...

Best Regards,
Jim
