Do tires really add a difference in ride?


Recommended Posts

All I know is that I went from the stock tires on my '03 Sierra to some really nice Michelin's. Riding quality went from road bumps being annoying to not being noticeable.

Krakin, are you some sort of mad scientist?

I would have replied earlier, but I was measuring the output of my amp with a yardstick . . .

What you hear is not the air pressure variation in itself

but what has drawn your attention

in the two streams of superimposed air pressure variations at your eardrums

An acoustic event has dimensions of Time, Tone, Loudness and Space

Everyone learns to render the 3-dimensional localization of sound based on the individual shape of their ears,

thus no formula can achieve a definite effect for every listener.

More rubber = softer ride... Low pro 45's and you feel every bumb in the road, bigger (standard) tire and the rubber/air absorbs the bumps. I think the difference in name/price will show more in handling and wear, but not feel.

Did you get that scar tissue when you got your vagina installed?

I love my Coopers. I had Toyo on before and they where junk. Wore horribly, hydroplaned, rough ride, and noisy. NIGHT and DAY difference.

Yes brand to brand can change as tread patterns vary. As far as daily driving in dry climate you probably won't notice too much of a difference in riding comfort but as mentioned before you may hear a difference in rode noise (comparing new tire brand A to new tire brand B same "size" tires) but it's other weather conditions like rain, snow and sleet that certain brand WILL have a noticable difference in ride quality.

I'm not saying they won't ride good (low pros), just gonna feel more bumps than a standard tire. That's why folks like us slow down for manhole covers and train tracks ;)

my friend had 40 series tires and his shit was bumpy and you could feel everything.. on my truck i have 35 series and its smoother and has better handling.. though i have perelli tires. dont know if that helps but it dont feel like i have low profile tires.. on my expo i have falcon tires and rides smooth and good handling too

and the reason people slow down its because hitting a potholes or bumps is because the rims can break with small tire not because you feel the bumps

Do you really need me to explain how what you just said directly relates to what I am saying?
