Exclamation Tires Tires Tires .... Please Help Me!!!

I've got an 03' TL-S and have been experiencing the bumpiest most uncomfortable ride now for about 2 months. I think I must have hit a pothole over the winter and messed up one or more of the stock tires. I am looking at various replacements and obviously my most important feature in these new tires is COMFORT!!!! Please tell me which one of the following you would recommend and indicate if you have one of them and how mush you like or dislike them:

1. Dunlop SP Sport 9000
2. Yokohama AVS ES100
3. Sumitomo HTR+

THANKS IN ADVANCE!!

Also, are there any other online stores aside from www.whalentires.com & tirerack.com that you could recommend

or try www.tirerack.com

tires.com , I noticed... has a little higher price, but they offer free shipping...

One suggestion I can give is... find the cheapest price on-line.... print it out... go to your nearest America's Tire shop... and they'll beat it or match it... this way, you won't have to deal with shipping and waiting... Plus, I believe America's Tire offer life time free rotating service (on tires purchase there, of course).

I've been using my new Yoko AVS ES100 over a week now and it's a complete improvement over the stock Michi. It sticks much better on the road and quieter. Last week we had some rain and the wet traction was also improve. I highly recommended. BTW, I have 225/55/16.

go to your nearest America's Tire shop
They are the same place.....if you buy them online and then pay to have them mounted it's the same price as buying them in the store. The good thing about buying them in the store is.....

Free lifetime balancing
Free mounting
Free Road hazard warranty
Free flat repairs
Free rotations
Free valve stems..........

I had the AVS ES100's mounted today. What a difference over the stock Mi****'s! Sticky, responsive and smooth. Try them out. You will not be disappointed. Plus, Yokohama has a 30 day hassel free trial program for these tires. If your not happy, get your money back. I'm excited to try them out in some rainy conditions, due to thier design but I think the rain in So. Cal. is gone until next year. I wanted to step up to the 225/45 17's but the recommended wheel width for that size is 7 - 8.5". Our stock wheels are only 6.5" (2002 TL-S). When your paying over $100.00 per tire, it would suck to have tire problems in the future and find out you voided the warrenty because (technically) the 225/45 was not made for a 6.5" wheel. So, to make a long story short I went with the 215/50 17's.
