All of my vehicle tires are aired up to the max = Mini Van, K3500 Suburban and Frontier crew
Performance is on my have to have list and ride quality isn't....ride quality is at the bottom of my nice to have list
All personal choice topic and how/where/etc you drive...there isn't a one size fits all on this topic...as it is with most topics...
Also remind folks of what Ford did solely for ride quality (not for performance) on the Explorer and the subsequent federally mandated dash & tire PSI monitor/warning lite...have to maim/kill folks before it sinks in...
