Which tyres can I fit to my Toyota Auris SR to improve ride comfort?

My wife thinks the ride in the Toyota Auris SR I have just bought is too hard. The tyres are Dunlop Sport2000 225/45ZR/17/91W. Could you recommend any softer-riding tyres of the same size?

No. You need to change the wheels as well, but the Auris is a car that handles much better on the 225/45 R17s. See: www.honestjohn.co.uk/road-tests/toyota/toyota-auri...d

Decent combination of ride and handling that might suit some people better than a harder sprung Golf or a Civic. A few inches taller than a Golf of Focus so easier to get in and out.
