I've got 205 55R 16s ...yokohama's... they suck... If I'm willing to pay.. which brand is the best for a soft, smooth, road hugging ride?
Kumho?
Goodyear?

Rep Power: 296 That would all depend on what kind of ride you are aiming for.
There's racing tires that'll last you a few thousands miles to touring tires that'll reach past 70k miles.
If you want a comfortable, long lasting tire that can handle the occasional abuse, I'd recommend some Falken ZE-512s, BF Goodrich Traction T/As, or Pirelli P-Zero Neros.

Rep Power: 326 Prepare for a really long response if Zzyzx gets in here.
Id say that G-Force TDA K/W are pretty good. Michelin Pilot Sports are really nice as well.

Firetstone FR690. Just kidding, Michelin makes a real good tire, ask any tire shop and they will tell you. I Worked at Tire Kingdom years ago and NO ONE ever complained about Michelins except the price, Toyo Proxes are a very good tire too.

Rep Power: 0 i hate traction t/a, they suck, i have them right now, and they grip worth crap
kumho mx have super short life, and not that fantastic of a traction
falkens azenis was decent
if cost was no matter to me for tires, i would get good year eagle gs-d3, they are like 200 each for me

Word has it the Michelin Pilot Sport SP2 is the new king of grip.
But anything from Bridgestone or Michelin would be the choice of tires without a spending limit.

Rep Power: 0 I have yokohama mohawk predators 205/40/17 and they grip nicely. GL with the soft smooth road hugging ride.
The mohawks are firm, good amount of road noise and grip real nice.
