I'm running the Sumitomo HTR 200s in 175-50-13
I do not consider the ride to be punishing at all. The ride shoud be the same as what you currently have, as the sidewall is exactly the same height. I went from Goodyear 155-80-12s and it was a "quantum leap" in road-holding.
That said, it is a much shorter tire than you currently have, so you will notice that your speedo reads faster than you are going. The smaller diameter means you are putting less rubber on the road, even if they were the same width. I feel that you will be happy with them though.
