Default 2013+ ES350 vs 2010-2011 LS, drive comfort

I recently test drove a few previous LS models(2010 and 2011's) and can't help to notice it seem to ride bumpier than my 2013 ES350. I can feel more bumps on the road with the LS. Am i crazy...? Has anyone driven the previous LS's?

What size wheels did the LS have. Bigger wheels with smaller tires can give a bumpier ride. Also tire pressure.

The LS air suspension has 3 settings, and each varies greatly from each other. The Sport setting gives an extremely firm/bumpy ride.
