johnmarkp Posted Wednesday at 07:51 PM Report Share Posted Wednesday at 07:51 PM I have looked at virtually all the tire reviews for the ST. Most are centered on performance and/or mileage. I am looking for tires that give the quietest and most comfortable ride. I have the 20 inch wheels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STBEAST Posted Thursday at 04:26 AM Report Share Posted Thursday at 04:26 AM (edited) I too am looking for a good alternative, I have the performance brake and tire package which came with the 21" P Zeros. The ST front suspension stiffness in increased by 10% and the rear suspension in increased by about 20%. They also use a monotube shock instead of a twin tube. And they use a solid tube sway bar instead of a hollow tube. I know the ST wasn't designed to be as comfortable as the base edge, so it is going to ride differently.

fishx65 Posted Thursday at 07:15 PM Report Share Posted Thursday at 07:15 PM Probably running tires 5 psi lower would make a bigger difference than a tire with a softer sidewall. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueSteel Posted Friday at 03:26 AM Report Share Posted Friday at 03:26 AM I got myself a set of the Michelin Pilot Sports for the summertime. I found that they were quieter and more comfortable than the OEMs that were on there. They had a good comfort/noise score on TireRack.com 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnmarkp Posted Friday at 01:03 PM Author Report Share Posted Friday at 01:03 PM They look good, but the 20k mileage is just too low. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edgeidiot Posted Friday at 11:13 PM Report Share Posted Friday at 11:13 PM I would suggest tires classed as touring or luxury. These tires provide a luxurious ride and since the speed rating is lower than sport tires, the tires will last a lot longer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garycrist Posted 18 hours ago Report Share Posted 18 hours ago I do not know where you live, but here just north of Dallas, I bet I could find a set of used 18 inch tires and wheels that will satisfy your ride. It is the low aspect (2nd number) ratio that helps determine stiffness as well as grip for the wider tires. This stiffness is reflected in less sidewall flex, better fuel economy,better handling etc. So a 245/60-18 tire will fill the bill with the 18 inch rims.
