Ride Quality
I have a 24 foot class C E-350 ford based motorhome. On good roads it rides great. Humps are handled with ease. However, pavement strips feel like 6 inch dropoffs. I just drove from south Florida ...

Running with a medium to heavy load the coach actually rides far better then it ever did before. Wind and trucks were never an issue that remains the case. Two finger steering is the rule
and that continues up through 35 mph winds... anything above 35 and I simple choose to get off the road. Keep in mind I have weighed the coach, several times, and inflate my Michelin LTX M/S 2's according to the load I am currently running as even great shocks {Bilsteins, Koni's, Monroe's etc.,}s are worthless without the proper inflation.
FWIW, I may be an early adopter in these here parts, but I now have 6 Michelin LTX M/S Defender LRE tires on our rig. Michelin is replacing the LTX M/X 2 with the new Defender line. I'm not sure about the M/S2, but the Defender tread area has 6 plies.
PS: Inflating the rear tires per whatever your rear load is a very wise way to take some of the sting out of the E Series leaf springs, but I run with 80lbs. in the rears to keep heat generation in the sidewalls at a minimum, to provide the strongest possible lateral stiffness, and to help out gas mileage just a bit.
