Tires: Tire Comfort, chrysler concorde, set of numbers


Question
I have a 2003 Chrysler Concorde with factory 225/55-17 tires installed.  The car only has 20,000 miles on it, but I'm considering replacing the tires.  I want the smoothest most comfortable riding tire I can find to fit my vehicle.  I'm not interested in performance, only ride quality.  What do you recommend?

Answer
Dennis,

As a general rule you want to go to a higher aspect ratio - the second set of numbers.

Unfortunately, that makes the tire size a minimum of P215/60R17, which I do not think anyone makes.  There is also the problem of clearance, so you'll need to have some look to see how much there is.

Try a local tire shop and see what they have available.

Hope this helps.
