Update:
I went with the Vredestein Sprint + tires and cannot believe how much they transformed the ride of the car. It is now smoother and quieter. I knew people liked them, but WOW! I had very old Michelin XZXs on the car so I guess anything is an improvement ridewise (even though I liked them, too). I have not driven the car enough to get a full comparison, but the car feels great.
Paul,
Thanks again for sending the picture. That provided the exact information I needed and I appreciate your taking the time to do that.
Best,
Jeremy
