Ride Quality!!

Can worn tires on my 96Z cause it to ride worse? It sem like it has lately, and I thought maybe that was the reason. Maybe it's just shocks and struts, I dunno. Any suggestions?

Can you be a little more specific about what has recently gotten worse and anything that happened or that you might have done such as inflate your tires a little higher? Gas station pressure gauges are notoriously inaccurate, so just using one at a different station could matter.

I don't think that tire wear influences ride quality all that much, as the stiffnesses of the tire carcass are not being affected. But the noise level may change with wear.

You might want to check the condition of your bump stops.

It just seem to hit the bumps a little harder than I used to. Maybe the roads around here are the prob. lol
