Default Re: Any ways to make an Onward ride better?

A 205 55 10 tire is still only about 18” tall, so it’s roughly the same outer diameter as a regular 18x8.50x8” golf cart tire. Except you have an inch less sidewall cushion to absorb bumps. The shorter sidewall is stiffer and that translates to a rougher ride.
“Quite a bit of rubber” may not be enough rubber to make the ride as smooth as a precedent riding on 8” wheels.

Another consideration: how long have you had your onward? A few months? Are you comparing the ride quality to a brand NEW precedent or one that’s been around the block a few years on the golf course?
A precedent that’s a few years old is pretty well “broken in” and the springs and shocks will be softer on that just due to age.
