It is....much less smooth and steering wheel a lot less sensitive. I have also noticed that now I am constantly driving with a correction to the right because the car is pulling to the left. I assume this is an alignment issue that the dealer needs to recheck, I am hoping this is not something I have to live with because I have 22s now. They look great, just wish I could have the same ride as I had on the 17s. Let me know your input. Thanks.

There should not be an alignment problem because of the new 22's. You should be able to put whatever size you want and not have it pulling to the side. Take it into the dealer or a shop and just get an alignment. Maybe it needed an alignment before you got your rims and you're just noticing now. However, you also say you want the same ride that you had before the rims... sorry, its not gonna happen. The tire is not as big as the stock tires therefore there's less absorption of bumps, dips, and potholes. The ride will be bumpier and stiffer, but you should get used to it. Hope thats of some help!
