Yep that's what I meant; sorry if I was implying that one should drive over a pothole to see if indeed the ride on 24's is still almost just as good as stock. Mmeraz is the first person I've heard who has said that the ride on 24's is almost as good as stock--just about everyone else who has gone with 24's has claimed that the ride is nowhere near as plush as the stockers; I don't dispute his claim since each person's opinion regarding ride on different-sized tires/wheels can be somewhat subjective. However, given the huge difference in the amount of rubber between the rim and the road between a 35-series 24" and a 70-series 17" tire...I personally would find it incredulous to believe that a tire with very little sectional rubber can absorb road pavement just as well as one with lots of sectional rubber--just the physics involved would prove that such cannot be the case.
Put it this way--if the ride on 24's is indeed pretty close to stock, then imagine how much better it must be on 22's or 20's...
But I will agree with mmeraz on one thing--24's do look better than 22's.
