I want to know if switching from self sealing tires to regular tires will eliminate the stiff ride. Anyone have any experience?
Thanks.
If you wanted to change, apparently BF Goodrich put out a G Force KDWS 245/55/18 tire. This is the first tire that I have found that is similar to our Conti's. They are sold by Tirerack in the US for 112 a tire. We do not have Tirerack here in Canada and I haven't tried pricing them at one of our stores.

The writeup is fairly good on them.
