Over Inflated Hankooks and Not Enough Oil

[Alwaysforward]

A couple of posts on this thread describe the Hankook tire ride as smooth or not an issue. Is that the general impression, or do others have a differing opinion on the smoothness of the ride?

For me and my V6 AWD, smooth around town or on local highways, but at interstate speeds of 70+ mph, I will be generous and call the ride "busy" at best. Anyone else?

I have the 5.0 Ultimate so it isn't a comparison to yours but I find the ride on mind good at all speeds with the exception of the flat spotting issues when car sits over night. That goes away in short order so not a real issue for me either.

Interesting because I was hoping it was due to the tires not being inflated properly. At higher speeds it is a bit "wobbly" or something. Not sure how to describe it but there is something there.

v6 AWD also.

Thought of that but then its a guessing game and have to check and recheck all 4 tires. Then if I go too far I have to go fill them back up. I just figured they would have an easy way to do it. Plus its like 30 degrees out.

For tire inflation, I use:

1. A good digital gauge (amazon has a bunch)

2. A portable air tank

3. An air compressor to keep #2 filled.

I usually check the tires cold in the morning - preferably on a cloudy day.

I do it on a schedule every two months - tires usually lose about 1 lb. a month so I overinflate by 1 lb.

It works for me - I would never trust a dealer or anybody else for this sort of thing.
