comfort tires
There used to be a thread on recommended comfort tires but it seems to have been removed. I'd like a tire that softens road feel on rough grainy pavement while maintaining good cornering characteristics.

Not sure... I use Michelin Pilot Exalto A/S. I think they are great tires. Check out the reviews on tirerack. I used these on an Accord. Hard to say how they feel on a yaris...

Define "good cornering characteristics" and you may get more help. Also, check out the testing that TireRack does. They do a lot of testing and comfort is one of them.
I've run Nokian Entyre and found them to be very quiet, and comfortable at OE tire pressures. |

Define "good cornering"? Good cornering IS the definition as opposed to sloppy cornering. I've read that comfort tires dont corner as well as sportier ones. I want more comfortable tires than the stock ones and still have reasonably good handling characteristics. I'll check out the Nokians. Thanks :o)

i would guess calling up the tire rack and talking to someone would be your best bet. Very few on here would really care about "comfort" when it comes to tires.

Found a thread on tires where the Michelin Defender was recommended. There are members of all ages and interest levels and yes like me there are others interested in comfort too.

I love these tires, but I'm not sure you will. Also, I have very little time in my Yaris. The tires it came with were 80% worn Chinese junk, that all I'm going by. |
