Everyone wants to be praised for being a skilled driver, providing a smooth ride without jerking around and making passengers dizzy. However, just having driving skills may not be enough; you also need to make adjustments to your car.

Even if you have top-notch driving skills, if your car's suspension isn't up to par, you'll still experience strong vibrations. Today, Motorist will share techniques on how to make your car drive more smoothly. Let’s take a look!

Adjust Tire Size

It's recommended to increase the width of your tires for a smoother ride. For example, changing from the original tire size of 215/55R17 to 225/55R17 will provide a larger tire footprint, making the car more stable and giving a smoother driving experience.

Change Tire Type

Many people opt for sports tires because they are cheaper, but they can provide a rougher ride. It's recommended to switch to softer, quieter tires for a more comfortable driving experience.

Maintain Proper Tire Pressure

Each vehicle requires a specific tire pressure. Check the owner's manual or the sticker on the driver's side door pillar to find the recommended tire pressure for your car. Over-inflating tires can negatively affect both the tires and the driving experience.

Choose the Right Shocks and Springs

It's recommended to select adjustable shocks because different people have different preferences for driving comfort. If you choose based on someone else’s preference, it might not suit you. Additionally, choose springs that match the shocks. If the shocks provide a soft ride but you pair them with very soft springs, it could affect the vehicle’s stability and increase body roll. Consulting with a specialist for selecting the right shocks and springs is advisable.

Once you’ve adjusted your car to achieve the desired smooth ride, remember to drive carefully, avoid being reckless, and strictly follow traffic rules to reduce the risk of accidents on the road.
