Thank you,

What fork is on the bike now? The steer tube has little to do with the 'ride quality' of the fork. The quality of the fork itself; the construction and the materials, will be the determining factor in the ride quality of a fork.
A carbon steer tube can be problematic if not treated correctly, i.e. some stems are designed to clamp on carbon steer tubes while others are not, etc.
Tire choice will make the biggest difference in how your bike feels, with wheels being the second biggest factor.
