Default S8 Harsh Ride - Help

Brought my S8 up from Atlanta this summer and NY/NJ roads & potholes are jarring my fillings loose and causing rattles to start. Running on Goodyear GS-D3's and stock suspension. Any suggestions on what could be done to take the edge off...even a 10-20% improvement in compliance would make a world of difference. Any reasonable suggestions appreciated. THANKS.

Move back to a place with easier winters(those hard ones are tough on roads) and better looking women - as in where you came from.

Use a 17" wheel. It wont look good but the ride will be much better. You might even be better with a A8.

Thanks for the thoughtful response. Replacing the Goodyear GS D3's with some Avon all season performance tires that should help. Any recommendation on adjustable shocks?
