Time to replace the original tires....suggestions?

[Jim]

It's time to replace the original Goodyears on my 2005. Any suggestions on what to get? Slightly wider in front would be nice for appearance. Ride quality is highest priority over everything else for me. Michigan roads beat the snot out of me whenever I take her out for exercise.

This has been discussed many times, almost all of them in this subforum. This is probably the place to start

I'm surprised that topic is not a sticky.

The short answer is that the Bridgestones are probably the most popular and help alot with the cold pavement hockey puck nature of the originals. I have them on my car.

Bridgestones.

Bridgestones are more economical

Also a bit more rounded profile; makes rear look like racing tire

Bridgestones - but I think you have to run much lower tire pressures (I run 27 psi) because they are the widest tires that will fit on the rims and "crown" in the middle.
