Bumpy ride With 22s

[Jdpete]

seems like I felt every bump on a bumpy interstate... smooth as can be on the newer road.... just something you get used to?

With 22s you’ll feel the year a quarter was stamped if you run it over. Get 18s or 20s

To me, our '19 ride is way better with the 22's than our '16 limited with 20’s was.

Well 19s have different spring ratings than the 16s so thats why

I have never had 22's but with all other tires I have had air pressure made a big difference in feel and I have found almost every place overfills tires. Anytime I am at the tire place I have to check the air pressure after because it will always be way over what it needs to be.

That or way under pressure. Most tire places, and even repair shops, inflate to door sticker pressure. The 22 inch tires have a stiff, short sidewall, that's why the choppy ride. Anytime you go to a lower profile tire, below 50, you'll get better handling through corner's, but unfortunately the trade off is a stiffer ride. Same goes for polyurethane bushings, or stiffer springs. Life's full of tradeoffs, stiffer, bigger tires is unfortunately one of them.

I have an 18 with the factory 22's and don't find them annoying. I am sure 18's would be smoother but I love the looks of the 22's

18's would be smoother, but the sidewall sway annoys me on taller sidewall tires!

On mine the recommended tire pressure is 39, when I run 37 I can tell a difference, much softer. I run 37 in summer and 39 winter.

This seems to be an issue with any expy type honestly. I have 20s on mines, and as i stated before, randomly mines changes from buttery smooth to rock hard with no type of reasoning behind it. Every person who has the ccd has a different ride experience, but honestly i think its a ford thing. My nav did this as well. I dnt rele think its the wheels as much as ppl say on here. A new thread opens up about this every month and each remedy is different as well (lowering tire pressure, changing wheels, changing tires, fixes itself, trading the truck, etc.)

Really, never thought of that. Duh! I realized that much!

Funny! With mine (with CCD), I find the ride is better with pressure around 40-42, and it's less bouncy with higher pressure.

I have 35's on 15's running at 23psi on my jeep. 18's on the expedition barely even have a sidewall. I had 18's on my jeep commander and couldn't stand it and had to move to 17's. I guess I am stuck in the old days of swaying sidewalls. 17's are becoming the new 15's. A lot of new tires aren't coming in 15" options.

I agree truck tires should be around 16 inch. I don't view my Expedition as a Truck, I see it as a people mover. I have a 3/4 ton that I call a truck and use as a truck! This is just a mini-bus in my eyes!

From what i read and felt, the nav has a much better ride quality than the expy does, ccd or base. I will admit the 18 nav i tested had one of the best rides ive felt in a suv. Id def like to feel what a german suv feels like, esp the newer ones as ive never driven in.

That said, for what it is, 80% of the time i love how my expy rides. Id still wpuld rather have the ccd unlike you guys lol, and the plat i tested before i bought mine did ride better so its personal preference.

I love the CCD.

 

[NyackRob79]

Yeah but those 22s sure look hella good!

Our platinum with CCD and 22" rides great. Most bumps are soaked up by the suspension. On really rough roads I put it in eco mode which also softens the suspension either further.

I rode in a Yukon some months back that had 22" rims and it was very bumpy. Personally, excessively large rims on an SUV dosen't look good to me... kind of like putting aggressive off road treads on GT500 Super Snake. I think I'm probably giving up a little with the 20" that came with the Limited; but I really do like the rim design.

 

[Jdpete]

Agree with the post that 89-90% of time runs great. Then for small stretch it’s choppy.. love it overall tho..
