Under-inflated tires is what caused the serious accidents in the '90's on many Ford SUV's with Firestone tires.

My two cents, radials need at least 32-35 lbs.
I would definitely look elsewhere if low pressure gave a rough ride.
Ah 3 cents, I am aware that you drive nice and easy. You still will shorten the wear life with under inflation.
Final thought for Ralph ( not sure if your area has any rumble strips or zipper strips ) I have found that the slower speed amplifies the vibrations and jarring shocks to the suspension. ( Try a slow roll on these modern driving aids ) Dad did not mess around when he had someplace to be.
