Yes I do have the 19" wheels and the low profile tyres and yes it is a bumpy ride.
It would not seem quite so bad if I could find and resolve the internal rattling noise that comes with every bump!
I have emptied the boot and the under storage unit, fixed the 5th seat belt, tried every part to see if it moves but to no avail
Does anyone have any ideas what might be the cause? Cant afford to switch to 17" wheels and deeper tyres just yet.

passenger or rear seatbelts twisted and the buckle rattling against the plastic??
Happens sometimes in my eNiro as the belt return springs are not man enough for the job.

I found the plastic under trays were not a great fit, and contacted the heat shields in a couple of places causing a rattle. I loosened them off and packed the edges with foam rubber. This made a big difference to the under floor rattles.
I also changed the front tyres to Michelin Cross Climate 2s and this took a lot of the harshness out of the front suspension.
I do have 17 inch wheels though.
