I can hear and feel every single bump, crack, dip, and slit on the road; even just cruising at speed on the highway. Living in a nice part of Florida, our roads aren't even that bad. I can feel just about every pebble even on smooth roads. It's starting to drive me nuts. I've driven my fair share of sports cars over the years, even with aggressively modified suspensions. There's just no way this car was designed to be THIS uncomfortable and noisy. It's making simple daily driving duties an annoyance.
The first obvious culprit are these run-flats, which I hate by default because well, run-flats.
The second thing, I'm starting to regret not getting the magnetic ride suspension; surely that would make a difference?
Am I being unfair here? Does the car need more time to settle? I planned on keeping the run flats until the rear went but now I'm just considering going for the nuclear option and replacing them right now. Does anyone have recommendations or can talk about the impact going from the runflats to non-RF?

I just bought a 23 one LT 20 inch rims with run flats. I hate them. Not sure what tire pressure is recommended on the SS but on the V6 it’s 33 pounds. I always run mine a little softer. Maybe 32 pounds. I’ve always run my Camaros with the tire pressure a little lower than they suggest and I have gotten 60,000 miles out of my tires no problem
