Soft riding tires?

Nokian WR's. Smoothest, quietest and most comfortable tire I have ever driven. Excellent in all bad weather, and gets through snow very effectively. Don't expect a Cadillac ride on 16" rims with a 55 or 50 series tire. If you can get to a 60 series your ride will be much more forgiving. Michelin tires, when new, offer a quiet and sophisticated ride. The rubber is hard, however, and tends to outlast the effective thread leading to dryrotting and a slowly deteriorating ride.
