That’s a problem for a lot of modern cars due to low profile tires. It’s the price paid for handling and a ride that isn’t land-yacht levels of seasickness inducing.

I have spent most of my life in mid-sized to large cars that sported 14-15 inch tires. I find that the full size GMs (Roadmaster, old Caprices, Olds 98, old Impalas, etc.), Fords (Crown Vic/Grand Marquis), Chryslers ('60s 300s, Diplomats/5th Ave. M-Bodies) all had a SMOOTH, COFMORTABLE land yacht ride, the OPPOSITE of sea sickness. I am astonished that low profile tires are sacrificing comfort and making the suspension do all the work, rather than the tires.
