My wife and I feel the ride of our 2004 ES330 is much harsher than expected. Dealer suggested reducing air pressure to 28lbs. with the Bridgestone V rated E30 summer tires.
This did very little, then they mentioned they were switching to H rated tires for their top of the line Lexus. I had chrome wheels and saw that they were supposed to have all-weather tires, so I insisted they switch my tires to all-weather Bridgestone LS-H H-rated tires (rated very high by Tire Rack), which they agreed to do. However, the ride quality was not noticably improved.
Has anyone else been disappointed in their very firm ES330 ride quality?

Any suggestion in "softening" the ride?
