i want a stock ride

[black black]

hello I have a 02 Tahoe it came with 265/70/16 but I upgrade to a 285/60/18 with falken s/tz-04 tires. I feel the road more and every bump. it do not absorb the bump or potholes. what should I do. I dont want to go back to a 16" rim and I love the 18"rims. is it my tire because it a racing tire with a hard compound or what. whats the best tire to put on this truck and what should I do about the hard ride and size to get that stock ride

You put tires on it with shorter sidewalls, that makes for less rubber to do some of the bump absorbing. If you want the softer ride that you had with the 70 series tires then put them back on

Problem solved.........
