There are a lot of manhole covers on the first section of my drive to work, and I commknly see people swerving all over the road just so their tires won’t touch them, even jeeps. Why?

My favorite people are those who drive giant SUVs with huge tires lifted way off the ground who do this and also slow down to 2MPH to go over train tracks.
The funny part is that going slower makes the bump worse. Your shocks need to compress to work.
No. Slowing may make the bump feel worse to you )unless you do it right) while still being less strain on your suspension
No, you want your suspension to compress. That’s it’s job. But you want it to start compressing as it’s hitting the bump so it drops down on the other side instead of the whole car dipping.
And I’m not talking about going over it at 50mph. A lot of speed bumps will have a suggested speed posted near or are designed for the posted speed limit. And I’m talking about the people who are basically idling over the bump.
Huge tyres? Or huge rims.
Skinny tires on huge rims and a lift kit will self destruct pretty quickly. Pavement princess trucks are considerably less capable, ironically.
Huge tires, not rims. I get the big rim idiots babying their purchases. I’m talking about regular SUV tires.
I was about to comment just right this.
