Most comfortable tires on earth
hey bubs,
have you changed the brand/model of tires before? did you notice the difference in driving after changing?
which brand/model do you think is the most comfortable tire that you have ever used before?

Air pressure and sidewall height usually make a far greater difference in smoothness than tire brand....but having said that, the Goodyear Regatta is about the most comfort-biased tire I've seen.
Generally, the higher the sidewall and the lower the PSI, the smoother the ride is going to be....but handling, tire wear, and steering response will suffer.

Yokohoma Aegis LS4.
Damn things had over 100,000 miles on them (all highway) and when I went to get new ones.
DISCONTINUED
Now I have some cheapy Yoko's for the time being.
and I have Eagle 1's on the MG

EDIT: when I say "cheapy" yoko's they aren't POS, they just are their entry level because at the time I was strapped for cash and they didn't have the Aegis anymore....

Depends on aspect ratio and what pressures as mmarshall said.
Given the 60 series tires Ive had, I don't think I've noticed a comfort difference. Maybe in road noise and traction...but just rolling down the street, I could not readily feel changes. Now doing a progression from a 70 series down to 40, it is incremental. A swap of 2 aspect ratios is detectable.
It becomes the whole package: noise, traction, turn-in...IMO
