What tire rides better?
I am looking for new tires that rides smoother and quiter then my pirelli's that i currently have now. I currently have pirelli pzero 245/30/22 in the front and 285/25/22 in the rear. I am going with wider tires 255/30/22 front and 295/25/22 rear cause the tires i have now is not wide enough. The pirrelli rides ok but i am looking for something better. Are there other tires out there that will ride better then pirelli's?

The problem is not your choice of tire. The Pirelli Pzero is probably the best tire in its class. Your car is not designed to have 22" wheels, get something appropriate in size and you will have a better driving car.

nitto is great for offroad but im not really impressed with their high end street tires. Ya he is right if you want a better ride your gonna have to do something about the size of your wheels or do some suspension modifications, i dont tihnk its the tires that are causing your problems

Would have to agree with this statement. 22" is a big move up.
