Hi,

I run the 18'' style 135 staggered setup with original suspension.
Stock as can be. I never track that car. I have an E36 M3 for track duty.

This is my granny car for the summer so I'm looking at softening the ride just a tad.
Here in Quebec the roads are pretty rough and the stock setup on older Envigor tires is harsh.

After reviewing this forum as well as other and watching the Tire Rack test videos I narrowed it down to 5 tires in either 17'' or 18''.
I have no problem going down to 17'' wheels to gain a little comfort and compliance.

Looking for opinions in relation to ride quality:
  1. Pirelli P-Zero All Seasons Plus (17'' or 18'')
  2. DWS 06 (17'' or 18'')
  3. DW (17'' or 18'')
  4. Bridgestone Potenza S-04 Pole Position in 17''
  5. PSS in 17''


I can't get myself to set the PSS aside completely as I know it is the best all around tire. Maybe on 17'' wheels it would yield a better ride quality... or not.
Presently leaning towards the first two in 17'' but maybe that is a little to soft ? Might be a more interesting compromise on 18'' wheels...

Criteria in decreasing importance are:
-Ride quality, get rid of some of the ZHP harshness
-Wet traction
-Low Noise across the life of the tire

Thank you very much for sharing.
I'm hoping to catch a break next week with all the black Friday deals coming up.
