Nothing to do with ride hide at all. I'm talking about throwing stuff suspension and bigger wheels with less rubber on 25 year old rubber that's already done a ton of miles. Old rubber bushings don't hold up the the abuse of the stiffer ride too well. Of you aren't sure if the bushings have been replaced I'd replace them when installing harder suspension and low profile tires.

Hi all,
so at the risk of getting heckled with a zombie post..., as the owner of a new-to-me absolutely stock, low km, 98 LS (I'm down under btw) Moar did you end up going down this route? Left it stock?
I think the Dechatelet Walds in an 18” would be period correct and awesome for both maintaining ride, super conservative upgrade that looks not too dissimilar to the original 16”s, also aiming not to destroy dynamics and NVH but to settle that sidewall roll a bit too..
keepIng stock might be better and just getting good rubber or something?

I've been using 255/45 on 18x9 and 225/40 on 18x8 of the Carving Head 40. I reverted back to original rims and tyres because finding and buying good 245/45 and 275/40 for 18" rims are very difficult and become very expensive here in my country. And my pregnant wife complained about the harsher ride.

Depends what your acceptance level of comfort is for these types of wheel changes. The softest riding tire on ours was the Yokohama S-Drive 245/40-18. The current Continental DWS-06 A/S are pretty nice too.
