I guess it depends on what you are used to. I'm not a big fan of low profile tires but the wheels that come from the factory are a good compromise for looks and ride comfort. Before I got my 2019 Reserve with all options but the entertainment system, I test drove Infinity QX60, QX80 GMC Acadia Denali and Expedition Platinum. I know the QX60 and Acadia are not full size but the Navigator had a much better ride. I could of got a better deal on the Expedition but the Navigator had a better interior, better ride and Heads up Display (I'm not sure the 30 way seats are a lot more comfortable but the are adjustable!). I did not compare to an Escalade because I did not like the interior for model year 2018. For a nearly 3 ton vehicle and almost a year of driving, I still give the Navigator 5 stars on drive quality .
