The car came with Dunlop SP8000's which are harsh. I realize with 18' wheels the car will never be super smooth, but my dad has 2000 SL500sport with Michelin Pilots which seems to ride smoother. I don't know if the suspension calibrations are different though. What can I replace the SP8000's with that is still good handling yet rides much smoother? Thanks

    Tire, Wheel, Brake and Suspension Forum
    I bought an A-class automatic 10 months ago. Since then I have driven 22K km of which I’d say 85% of this was straight motorway and minimal breaking. I’ve just brought my car in for a service to the garage I bought it from and they told me that after 10 months, my brakes are worn to 90% with...
