What is the most comfortable tire?

M5_Raz · 07-09-2022, 01:59 PM

Hi all,

Usually all we talk about is grip, but I was wondering what the most comfortable tire is. The car's suspension is a bit stiff imo and looking to alleviate that.

Any thoughts? I'm on stock 343m wheels.

Thanks!

What tires have you on there now..

Possibly a Michelin Or Pirelli all season tire. They are a bit softer than the all out performance line.

If more comfortable to you feels like a softer and quieter ride, then you can't go wrong the 4S's. For starters you can play around with your tire pressures.

Thanks! I've had the the original PSS and now have the Kumho Ecsta PS91. These are good at first but after the first year they got hard and lost their threads quickly.

I haven't tried the PS4S's yet, they look tempting. Any thoughts on the Continental DWS06? Not many have all seasons on these cars.

And yes, quiet and soft ride is what I'm after.

I have been on Continental DSW06 plus tires for a while now and they grip well, are quiet and very comfortable. Great in rain as well. Running 275/305. I daily mine and wanted all around performance rather than ultimate dry grip.

Sounds interesting, got any pics of it with this setup?

Are you lowered or on stock suspension. Just asking because I know those tires are thicker, if you're lowered did you rub ?

Continental tires have a softer sidewall profile which allow you to run a 275/305 very comfortably. Same as the Pirelli PZeros.

The only time you'll rub is if you're decently lowered and have a 10mm spacer + w a 305+ width

The outer side wall scrapes on the fender on bumps
