My personal reason for changing to the latest highest payload Michelin's run at lower pressure and to install Koni FSD were specifically to try to counter our California concrete block freeways sharp cross edges rough ride.
Xza-2's at 107 and 97 psi rear and the original Koni red tops readjusted three times rode rougher than we like and kicked back fairly hard on square edges and if set softer on the shocks had too much body roll.
All four upper wheel well openings have a lot of damage to the floors underside showing the blue foam from long term too soft/worn shocks and the coach still kicked back on the freeways.
With the 7160 pound rated at 120 psi "h" Xza-3+'s at 97 psi front and 87 psi rear respectively for our actual load and with the FSD's installed the latest tech tires finally allow a reasonable non jarring ride on our overused so cal freeways.
On nicer roads than we have here the differences we needed to try to fix our issues may not be as needed and the differences would not be nearly as noticeable.
On out of state nice interstate highway's our previous zxa2's ride was similar to our newer tires.
Many here report that their other brand newer tires rode and drove similar to the older Michelin's on their roads which is what I would expect.
I could have probably saved some of the money we spent and received nearly as good of results if we did not live here.
Judging by the good reports from the other tires from many owners here they seem to be using their coaches on better roads than we have?
