Need a better riding tire
The PZero's I had rode really well.. maybe the GT Coupe weight? I do love the ride of the Michelin Pilot PS2's I was skeptical at first but even as a larger width lower profile tire it rides good and I'll consider picking up a new set when these wear out.
Guys,
I have a 2005 V6 mustang vert and I bought a set of the GT take-offs that have the Pirelli PZero Nero P235 55ZR17's on them. I can't stand the ride of these tires. These are a very rough riding tire and I'm looking for suggestions for replacement rubber that would have a much smoother and softer ride. It's either this or go back to the original tires and rims that came on the car. Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

I haven't had them long enough to confirm any of that except the ride and comfort. They are nice in that respect and that's what I bought them for. I don't rip on my car very much so I expect to get at least 50,000 miles on the tire. They are rated for 80,000 but I don't expect that. If I get it, great. If you want a comfy quiet tire, this is it. I have 18" rims so I bought 235/55/18s. They are a little taller than the original tires and I think it's thrown off the speed slightly and odometer a little more. I am going to get the Fuego tuner from Granatelli when they come out with a tune for the 08'. They don't have one now but working on it. They said Ford keeps changing their computers each year and they have to update the tunes. I am hoping I can get the speedometer and odometer back on track with that. Hope this info helps.
Anyway goodyear comfortread in 215/65/17 should be GREAT for ride comfort. the tire size is important too. also, it may cost you more in the end because they wear quicker but nothing is free.
That size fits 6-7.5" rims. I believe you have a 8.5" rim.
Just stick with the OE size 235/55/17
