Improving the ride on a CR-V

I have a 2011 Honda CR-V EX on 18 inch wheels the ride is not as good as I had hoped. Would 17 inch wheels improve the ride and what tyres would you recommend for mostly road use?

Yes. Pirelli Scorpion STRs or Michelin Latitude. But I had one on 18s and thought it not bad. It's 19s that really destroy the ride.

Roomy and versatile. Very comfortable, pleasant and relaxing to drive. not at all cumbersome. 2.2 i-CTDI diesel is excellent.
