However, they also improve stability and handling greatly. There are ways to have both smooth ride quality and good stability and handling. For instance, the stiffer ride quality from using bigger wheels to improve stability and handing can be counterbalanced with the proper tires and adaptive suspension dampers, a feature common on many Mercedes-Benz vehicles. In the end, though, it depends on what you value from your vehicle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>Other Things That Affect Ride Quality<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text alignwide has-media-on-the-right is-stacked-on-mobile\"><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"768\" height=\"500\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn-ds.com\/blogs-media\/sites\/178\/2020\/08\/23112226\/2021-Mercedes-Maybach-GLS-B_o.jpg\" alt=\"2021 Mercedes-Benz GLS\" class=\"wp-image-11708 size-full\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn-ds.com\/blogs-media\/sites\/178\/2020\/08\/23112226\/2021-Mercedes-Maybach-GLS-B_o.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn-ds.com\/blogs-media\/sites\/178\/2020\/08\/23112226\/2021-Mercedes-Maybach-GLS-B_o-300x195.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<p>It\u2019s hard to pin down the culprit when it comes to rough ride quality. That\u2019s because there is a bevy of factors that can increase or decrease the smoothness of your ride. For instance:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Inclement weather<\/li><li>Poorly maintained roads<\/li><li>Car weight<\/li><li>Weight distribution<\/li><li>Horsepower and torque<\/li><li>Engine size and timing<\/li><li>Transmission<\/li><li>Suspension<\/li><li>Tires (type and wear)<\/li><li>Seats<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2026and more!
