I am going to be replacing the tires on my 2008 Nissan Altima 2.5 SL. It has Firestone Affinity Touring tires on it now, but I was wondering what the best tire is for ride comfort. The tires I have looked at are Bridgestone Turanza Serenity Plus, Firestone Affinity Touring, Continental TrueContact, Michelin Premier A/S, and Toyo Versado Noir. Please let me know what you think is the best overall tire for ride comfort, thank you!

I replaced stock Michelins on my 2010 Altima 2.5 SL with Yokohama Avid Touring S last year on rec of local Nissan dealer. Got a great price during dealer sale & Yoko mail-in rebate. (MUCH cheaper than replacement Michelins). Smoother riding than the Michelins, softens road bumps better, and quieter (although hard to compare new vs used tire on that score). Good handling at the cornering limit (like how fast I can go in local round-abouts), but not quite a sharp handling (transitional response, changing directions). Did not have much snow last year, but kept up with traffic fine after a couple 3+" snow falls. Too soon to tell about overall tread life, but no issues so far. I would buy these tires again no question.
