I agree I85 is not too good. I never drive on I285 so I have no comment. 400 is by far the best, but it is only the occasional trip that takes me that way. The car feels best on 400, so maybe the tires are particularly sensitive to the paving materials on I75 and I85. However, I would expect the car to be as smooth as butter on the newly paved portions of I75 and it is not. When they were paving it, I would drive on the new pavement and then switch lanes to the old pavement and there was virtually no difference.
