The Defenders will offer the best ride in any size usually. If they are not riding smooth, it's time for some suspension work. Or time for P275-70-18s!

You did not state what road surfaces you typically drive on. If it is primarily paved roads, then Michelin Defenders are the way to go, IMO. If you do a lot of off-roading, there are other options available.

I have Continental Cross Contact LX 25, 285/45-r22 on my 18 Suburban. They are comfortable, quiet and wear very well. I have about 36k miles on them and they are wearing evenly currently at7/32", rotated every 6K miles and running at 37 psi. They are great in dry and wet and very good in snow.

I’m considering downsizing from my factory 22’s.. I live in New England. Been having problems with a vibration at highway speeds.
