Default Improving 2006 Accord ride

My 2006 Accord EX has been a fabulous automobile, but the original equipment 215-50-17 Michelin tires provided a ride that can only be described as brutal. Unfortunately, Goodyear Comfortreads, which are the gold standard for ride improvement, are not available in this size. After reading user evaluations on this size tire on Tirerack.com, I switched to Michelin Pilot Exalto series tires, which are H rated rather than V rated, and the ride has gone from very harsh to good, plus they are less prone to spinning on wet surfaces.
