Re: smoother ride?
I am far from an expert, but here are a couple of thoughts. Some things to
consider. Tire "softness", probable use and width/height ratio The softer the tire, the quieter the ride and usually the better handling tire. i.e. lower treadwear rating, 280 A A "UTQG rating" is very soft compared to a 700 A A "UTQG rating". They are softer but you should consider the rule of thumb of lower rating=softer=wear out faster. This is not definite for all, but something to consider. The balance is what you want to spend the first time and how often you want to spend it when they wear out.. What you need to consider also is probable use. If you are thinking of racing, then you will need a completely different class of tire than a daily driver. If you have a off-road 4x4, you will be getting a completely different setup than the same vehicle that will never see dirt. The width/height ratio is the "65" of 205/65-15 tire size. I recently upgraded to a larger radius wheel and increased my tires from 195/75-15 to 235/60-16. It is about the same smoothness but MUCH improved stability. A taller/skinny tire may improve gas mileage, but usually you pay for it with handling. On street muscle cars, you don't usually see tall skinny tires. Again, you need to know your needs/desires.
