I'm on the fence of either switching to 20" regular summer tires or just do all season DWS next and save the money. It's like 1/2 the price for almost 2x longer lifespan.
It might be more your 20” wheels. I’m swapping tires on the same 19” wheels. I don’t see why swapping to summer tires would make it stiffer but swapping from 19” to 20” wheels would make it stiffer. Maybe just switch to 19” all year?

If you ever want to do that and sell your 20’s, let me know which ones you have!
