My car is on 225/40/18, has no floating behaviour, and just the right amount of feedback still to feel what happens on the front wheels, whether it's wheel placement, movement, gripping/slipping... It's an absolute joy to drive, whether on long journeys or spiritedly. > just keep my hand relaxed on the wheel while the car ploughs pretty much through whatever in a direct line I would avoid small potholes still but that's basically my feeling on that car. I did slightly bend a rim once when running through a pothole I did not see, and the car ploughed through as described. I recall reading an article a couple of months ago about steering, feedback, and suspension geometry design. It rang very true to my subjective experience that many car suspensions are designed for "comfort" (vs "sporty"), which results in a lack of relevant direct feedback, which makes the car uneven and floaty, like you're somehow disconnected from the road, and still suffer from bumpiness as you have to rely on indirect cues to compensate, which makes for increased latency and overcorrection. I wish I could find this article again, IIRC it all comes down to one angle/offset, which you can't really fix by tuning geometry because it's basically baked in the suspension design. EDIT: it's related to that one[0], but was more detailed regarding that part: > To make matters worse, the suspension geometry often further compromises steering feel in favor of things like putting less load into tie-rods [0]: https://arstechnica.com/cars/2022/01/new-cars-have-lost-their-steering-feel-heres-why-that-matters/ https://arstechnica.com/cars/2022/01/new-cars-have-lost-thei...
