Yep, lowering the PSI to lower to mid 30's would smooth the ride out.
Everytime I get a loaner I check for tires PSI and believe or not they are all in the 46-50 PSI range. Insane.

So apparently some idiot at the dealer decided to pump my tires to max allowable tire pressure (Michelin spec) instead of Lexus recommended tire pressure. I was at 51psi!!!!!! and that was on a chilly 40 degree morning. Lowered it to 40psi and the tires were squatting quite a bit so I left it at that. The ride improved considerably. I might lower it to 35psi and call it a day as I'm sure when the temps drop my psi will drop as well plus natural air loss.

Night and day difference! Although it will affect handling in a negative way though. I was surprised by how well the thing turns and stops, in addition to the rough ride. I should expect more body lean and floatiness, but take that any day over the rough jittery ride and just adjust my driving style.

Thanks for the tire pressure suggestion. I should have known it right off the bat though. Maybe the excitement of a new car stunted my analytical skills lol.
