The air suspension did a slightly better job of damping out small bumps and seemed to
transmit less road noise into the cabin, but handling was pretty darn near a toss - up.
Our truck (despite being a 4 × 4) lacked the off - road package, which paid dividends on the highway — the suspension quelled large bumps more easily than the Z71 - spec Colorado, and the street - oriented tires on this example
transmitted less road noise to the cabin.

And by the way, these tires do
transmit a fair amount of
road noise into the cabin — along with a
less - than musical exhaust note — and relatively modest sound deadening lets wind
noise be heard somewhat plainly at highway speeds too.
Small bumps get sopped up without drama, and there's
less road noise transmitted through the suspension components into the cabin.
