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.

I had a 64 Dart and a 68 Cadillac Sixty Special and have driven many of the vehicles you mention. In fact, the last of the land yachts is parked out front, a 94 Cadillac Fleetwood that belongs to a friend. All of them could have seasickness induced through driving in modern Dallas traffic; note that the marketplace has basically agreed with this. We retrofitted the Caddy with better shocks, springs, bushings and tires to moderate the boat action.

Also, Jaguar produced superior ride and handling by using stiff sidewall tires and letting the suspension deal with it long before the current era - without nausea, so it not only could be done but was.
