Past time to replace the tires.
This round I'm looking mostly for comfort/quiet ride and decent weather handling over super-grip performance, since really this is my wife's car and is used for long family road trips etc (she appreciates a comfy ride more than my, er... "sprited" driving style)
Looking for suggestions - would probably go with the Ecsta 4X... except that after getting burned by alignment problems, I'd rather avoid a directional & asymmetric tire if possible. I just don't like not being able to properly rotate them.
*maybe* if it's directional but still symmetric, it's do-able 'cause I can at least re-mount them at the DIY shop.
Anyhow - suggestions for a comfy tire for this car that isn't directional?
And, what about moving up to a 215/5017 for a little more comfort? I wouldn't mind the height to not scrape the bumper anymore too ;-)
