Tyres and ride quality/pliancy

[Crazyj]

Apologies - I’m sure there are hundreds of threads relating to this…

I have a Ducato 540 based PVC and its ride quality in abysmal. Before I look into air or semi-air suspension I thought maybe changing the tyres might be a quicker/ more cost efficient way forward, initially.

Michelin Agilis 225/R16 camper tyres are currently on the van and I know that people often ditch these in favour of other tyres. Has anyone on here done that, and to which tyres, with what sorts of results?

Thanks in advance

Good advice I think, made a huge difference to mine.

After I had the full air fitted I said to Mick that I thought the ride would be softer. He told me to drop the tyre pressures from 80psi to 70psi. It did make a difference. I've driven it like this for 5 years with no adverse effect on tyre wear.
