Active suspension needed to control soft suspension because of highly inflated tires?

Highly inflated tires lower rolling resistance.
But they make for a stiff ride.
Thus soft suspension systems are needed.

If new cars were to come out of the factory with 80 psi+ pressures then active suspension systems will be needed to counter body roll, pitch, dive and bottoming out when sitting passengers on the rear seat.

BTW Many small cars are getting taller thus making weight transfer almost as bad as SUV look-alikes.

Airless tires (tweel) and air-bagged suspension?
