Default Best tires for a smoother ride?

I'm sure this is a nooby question and has been asked alot so i appologize ahead of time.

I'm looking to make my car ride a bit smoother. Before i mess with anything that has to do with suspension i'm wondering if a new set of tires could make a big difference.

If you could reccomend me a tire it would be appreciated.

Thanks,

sean

Some tires just "work" on a particular car.
For the Z,Hankook V-12's are great.Smooth,quiet...
They are summer tires.Also,have a rather soft sidewall.
Not suited for track use.For everyday they are great.
A major improvement over OEM Bridgestones.
Discount Tire Direct is a good source.

I've said it before and I'll say it again...Hankook V12's. For the money I think they might be the best tire. I may never buy another brand for my Z.

You have 3 different types of tires on your car. Very cheap tires to boot.

I would think that simply buying 4 of the same tires would give you a smoother ride, so you could start there. But I will also recommend the Hankoook V12's as a good daily driver. I had them for about 2 summers and I had no complaints.
