Can you recommend a tyre that will give a softer ride?
The tyres on my Citroen C3 Picasso are coming up to replacement, but the ride is very hard on the current Michelin Energy Saver 195 55 R16 91T tyres. Can you suggest a tyre which will give a much less harsh ride?

Low rolling resistance tyres have stiff sidewalls that make the ride harder. Try a more conventional tyre, and if you want a set that will see you through the winter as well as the summer, Goodyear Vector 4 Seasons.
