Z-71 suspension is a hard riding suspension, IMHO. Yea softer shocks and a softer compound tire will soften up your ride some.

The Michelin LTX A/S-M/S are nice ties and offer a good ride. Also, don't discard the BFG All Terrain. A great tire and 3 ply sidewall. The last of what I call the big three tire is the Uniroyal Laredo A/T. Now before you go off some tangent, Uniroyal has come a great way since the years of the Uniroyal Tiger Paw. Especially since Michelin Bought BFG and Uniroyal.

Yes, I am bias.

Replace the stock shocks with Bilsteins, its only like $200, and put Michelin's on there and the difference will be night and day. The stock Z71 shocks are Tennecos and are pretty much trash by 30k. The Michelin LTX/MS is a nice tire.

Look into it, you're really going to have to replace the shocks to get it to ride any better and the Bilsteins are extremely popular among Z71 drivers. I don't know why GM put such terrible shocks on the Tahoes, the premium smooth ride aren't terrible but are far from good but the Z71's are just terrible.

Bilsteins and Bridgestone Dueler A/T REVO's here. Not displeased one bit.
