Default what would be the best tire for me

hello im going to get new tires and was wondering what you all think is the best tire that has no road noise,smooth ride and nice ok looking tread pattern on a nonlowerd 93gs300 in a 245-45-17 or 255-45-17 and have been thinking about the azenis ST115 by Falken and was wondering what you all think about that tire thanks for all the help

Hi I can't shed any light on the Falkens (can someone, cause I am thinking of trying also?) but I can say I was EXTREMELY impressed by my Toyo TS1's. They perform well in the rain, grip excellent in the dry and look like they mean business with a huge V tread and nothing else on them. Also they look quite "full" and "agressive" the only downside is they didn't even last me 9 months and they were down to the bone! And I'm not an extreme driver. Vederstein - I tried these after the Toyos, and slipped everywhere I used to be able to drive as normal with the Toyos! Icreadibly poor. I couldn't beleive how bad they handle. Whats more the tyres are really rounded on the edge of their wall and look smaller then they are. It wans't worth it at all to save a few £... next time I'm back on the Toyo TS1s.

Default Ride quality

The best ride quality of the tires available in your size is the Continental CH95.
