Better tires Better ride?
So after doing a 22 hr round trip to Florida I noticed a few things I would like to change/ upgrade on my 2018.
For one, a ceramic tint is going on pronto (legal limit here in MS is 35 i think) plus a clear ceramic on the front windshield. Second is some sort of lumbar support for my seat. My biggest gripe with the car is no adjusting there. For what I made this thread for though, is the tire wheel set up. I have read other threads that say the tires do add a bit to the road noise. I was wondering are there tires that would make for a more pleasurable/ forgiving ride. Do they exist? I have the 16 inch alloys, and honestly I was thinking about dropping a size and getting better tires. Suggestions on tires to look at? The drop in size is simply for helping my not rash a rim. I already dinked my front right because MS roads eat you tires/wheels for lunch. I have also had AVS hood deflector/ protectors for my other cars. I usually go with the 3m attaching version. I can not seem to find one that doesnt clip or looks like it is floating on the hood. Thanks in adavance |
i run continental DWS06 on my cars in the winter time. they are a very compliant riding tire and quiet.

Practically anything is an improvement over the OEM tires. Take your pick.

Go on Tire Rack and pick a few quality tires in whichever performance category you're interested in. There's probably at least one of them that they've used in a comparison test, in which they talk about road noise as one of the qualitative differences.

Our 2016 LX came with the awful Firestones. After a month or two I dumped them for Michelin Premiers in 195/55-15. Sure, they're pricey, but quieter, good in the wet, and makes the car feel much more solid at 75-80 MPH. Well worth the money in my opinion.
