Default New tires? Any help?

I really need some new tires. I am down to the wear bars on the current tires. I would like to stay with michelins but I am really up to any advice you guys have. I am just looking for quite soft riding tires. Im dont really drive really spirited so like I said before I just would like some comfort tires. I dont really know where to start. Any info?

Other than Michelin I would recommend Toyo Proxes .I find them very comfortable but keep in mind those preferences are all relative terms so change person to person

I purchased Goodyear Comfortfit tires. The ride is so much improved over the original Conti's. But as stated above that's just my experience.

I would def stay with Michelins if you dont mind paying the premium price. I have proxes on my R now and im not very impressed at all they came on the car brand new when I got it so I cant complain, they could also be a lot worse too. For the money I think Kumhos are great tires. Ive had a lot of expierience with them and all other brands and they offer probably 85% of the Michelins overall quality at half the price if not less. Hope this helps!

I have toyo proxes fz4's on mine and I don't like them...I had toyo proxes 4's on a monte carlo and loved them except for the snow! They are dismal snow tires! I personally love bfgoodrich tires for anything! Although I do want a set of I think they are michelin pilot sports or something like that they were like 220 a tire but they were super high performance all season tire or something like that...really nice tires...only size 225 45 17's that sams club had sitting out there...really nice tire...
