tire help needed

I've been pouring over this forum solidly for more than a week now, and have come to a conclusion. Just like anything in life... the more you know--> the more you don't know. So here's my situation and any help is greatly appreciated.

I got a 2002 D/S S/S Cooper S that is lowered with Eibach springs. I drive mostly commute in the city with some spirited driving whenever I get on a highway. No snow. Some seasonal rain. No track/auto X.

I'm currently running 17" S-lites with non-runflats. The rough city streets are consistantly producing shreiks from the wife. In an effort to a smoother ride, I'm looking at downsizing to a sporty set of Konig Freefalls. Either at the 15x6.5 or 16x7. Both with 40 offset. I need tire advice!!

I want comfort for the marriage sake, but can't forget the fun factor
