I had another thought - ( scary, ain't it ! )
Since (for a given tire size), it is the air pressure that determines capacity & more plys allow higher pressure for higher loads . . . Wouldn't that heavier sidewall be stiffer and give a harsher ride ?
So, now I'm thinking that the lowest load rated tire that will safely carry the load will provide the smoothest ride.
Ain't nothin' simple anymore . . .
