In all seriousness, this is entirely subjective.

Smoothness and comfort for what conditions? This is a really broad question.

Go to tirerack and read reviews. A "P" rated highway tread tire will probably be best.

A tire with the tallest sidewall and smallest rim with the correct psi in them as under-inflating is worse then over-inflating.

Time to SFA it and run long arms with 15" rims and 35" tires at about 26-28psi.My 35" Toyo's are load range "C" and have extremely thick sidewalls but with them at 28psi(max is 35) and with my long arms it drives like caddy with "P" rated tires on the highway(but better),even with my ultra stiff RE front coils and OME's in the rear(RE nitro shocks up front and Bilstein 7100's in the rear).Corners great also with the AR front swaybar(no rear swaybar).


If you want a caddy ride all the time buy a caddy,a Jeep is not a cushy/comfort vehicle."Feeling the bumps" is not a bad thing,gives you more control,better braking,and more stable feeling ride which is 100% safer then a "no feeling" ride.

Which brand, size would you recommend for 16" stock renegade wheels without any lift for most comfort and feeling least pavement?

Must use beadlock type rims and air down to about 14psi,would not recommend for rainy/snowy/icy days.


But if those don't fancy you there is no tires like what you want.

Hehe, I'm not looking for a 1950's caddy ride. There are tons of different tires for different purpose that feels different and sound different based on many factors such as size with different materials and threads. With that said, im looking for useful information and suggestions on which brand/size tires might suit my needs which might differ from your needs and liking. You might find your post funny but i find it useless and very childish and waste of my time and for someone might find this thread useful in future.
