Would Lowering Air Pressure in Motorhome Tires Help Ride Quality
Question:
Does the tire pressure affect the ride of the motorhome . I have a 2016 Thor ace 30.1 18,000 lb and they are saying some have 100 psi per tire and they say to lower to 82 psi would that help feels like every bump i hit rattles the motorhome steering column. and would just sumo springs work for the ride.

Tire pressure can affect ride quality to a certain extent but maybe not as much as you'd like. I'd maybe try it first and see if it gives you enough of an improvement. It's free so can't harm much right?
A set of SumoSprings like the part # SSR-187-40-1 is a great option to improve the ride quality out back and then in front the Timbren kit part # TFFF53B.
