I'm not going to try and disagree with your statement that the car may ride "better" with more pressure in the rear, but I think that the statement that it will "distribute more weight" is misleading and probably inaccurate.

This. Conventional tires will ride better, and if you can (you probably should, in NJ) get all seasons instead of summer performance tires, those will also have a softer sidewall, generally speaking.

Then move to 18". Or just trade it in on a standard suspension car, which is what I have, and it's a nice ride (except for the vibration problems).

FWIW, the first thing I did when I got my car was to take off those lousy RFT and lower the pressure to 30 psi all around.
