Proper suspension parts will do more for a smooth ride than lower psi, which can very dangerous.

I know this is a tough tough topic and along the same lines of synthetic vs. dino oil, Koni vs. Bilstein etc, etc.....data however shows the tire manufacturer to have the edge here.
For trailer tires I would agree with you, for motorhomes it has long been established that you need to weigh the coach for travel and pressurize the tires for the weight they are carrying per the tire manufacturer's load vs inflation chart, which, as you say, "data however shows the tire manufacturer to have the edge here".
