I see a lot of talk about blowouts, tread separation etc. I also notice that people do not talk about tire maintenance. Run a tire 20% under recommended pressure for any distance and it can destroy a tire. I have TPMS and a compressor and will not drive 1 foot on a low tire!

I plan to have everything checked out and what ever items anyone recommends checked.

Any brand of tire for a smoother ride is requested??? All options

A good shock to put on this newer vehicle. I have the Sumo suspension.

Thank you all and hope everyone had a great camping summer even with the heat. I am sure clad for AC down here in Florida. LOL Oh awaiting the hurricane here in No Fla

Thanks

Go to Costco and get yourself a set of Bridgestone Dueler A/T Revo 3.

Then order a set of Bilstein shocks.

then you will be good to go

I will also vouch for the Michelin Agilis Crossclimate, it is a massive upgrade over the stock tires (which wore out for me at about 30k - my MACs still look like new 50k later).

The blowouts and tread separation is on the stock van tires: Nexen Roadian LT225/75R16.
Do not use these tires! They will fail, I think Ram and others put them on as they are very quiet and smooth. But with any load added to the tire and freeway driving they will fail.

I ended up with Michelin Agilis LTX.
