Default 2018 Q7 Prestige W/ 21" OEM All Seasons

Considering a 2018 Q7 Prestige and was wondering how the ride quality is with the new 21" OEM All Seasons and no Air Suspension, if anyone here has that setup?

Do not have much to compare by but loving my ride in my 2018 Q7 with 21” wheels and standard suspension.

I couldn't tell you how my OEM tires drove on the non-air suspension as I had my 21" winters installed prior to pick up but can say that I don't find the ride on 21" uncomfortable. Very responsive and find the suspension rides well.

I have 21 inch wheels with winter tyres on at the moment. I can't tell any difference in ride or noise from the summers that came off.

I have a prestige with 21” summers. I didn’t think the ride was rough at all. Now I have my winter rims and tires on and I can’t wait for it to get warmer. Too mushy.

I am interested to hear feedback from anyone as well. So far all the replies are from one summer tire owner and the rest that fitted winter tires. I realize given that the OEM all season has not been available very long, will be harder to find any feedback but if anyone out there has the new tire, please chime in and let us know how it is going. Thanks!!!

The cars are brand new, like within the last week -10 days or so, so it's unlikely anyone has any significant experience with them.

The air suspension is even more compliant than standard, and even on 21 inch summers that the previous Black Optics offered, the ride was terrific.....expect that to be even more comfortable with the all seasons, and more comfortable still with all seasons and air suspension

Sorry, I strike out on two of your three qualifications for answering (but answering anyway). I have 2018 Q7 Prestege 20" OEM Goodyear all season WITH Air suspension.
That said the ride is AMAZING even in the sport mode (least cushy)... far superior to 2011 Q5, which I thought was great. Here in San Clemente, our town has lots of dips in the hilly roads. The ride in my daughters Mazda last night was painful after riding in my Q7 for the past couple of weeks.
