205/50-16 on aero wheels have rough ride!

I went from the stock 15 inch rim to the aero 16's with 205/50-16 inch yokohamas on my classic 900T with spg springs. The ride is much more rough and I can't say that I get really any measurable better grip than with stock 15 inch rim and 205/55 tires! In fact, I'm next going to try to fit 205/55-16 on the aero wheels to give alittle more sidewall and flex!!! Also, any larger than the 205's... Like 215 or 225 would let the edge of the tire stick out way too far from the fender wheel wells, at least with the aero rims I have. Good luck, just remember if comfort is at all an issue...
