Thank you all very much for your helpful and constructive feedback, some interesting comments. I am familiar with the Citroens, my dad had one, Its going to be a LS, Merc or Jag, I did my apprenticeship plus 5 years at a BL / Jaguar dealership in South Wales and have fond memories of the lovely ride of the 80's XJ range, especially the V12. I think it will come down to a X358 or LS 430/460, when this virus malarkey is over.

No confusion Malc, I also posted the same question in the Jaguar forums. I will be changing my car later this year for something with a smooth, quiet and comfortable ride. Im looking at the Lexus LS, Mercedes S Class and Jaguar XJ. Pre 2010 models with a budget of £15k. I've done some experimenting with wheels & tyres on my BMW E39 to improve comfort at low speeds on poor roads, results are disappointing. I thought I would do more research on comfortable, quiet and compliant tyres by asking owners of these cars for feedback as comfort is surely one of the main reasons you drive such luxurious cars and careful tyre choice for replacements and preserving the comfort is high priority. A very subjective issue but I was hoping that there may be a consensus amongst members here on the best tyres to go for for that magic carpet ride.

Greetings. BMW owner here looking to change into a nice LS, not sure which model yet but looking for the smoothest most comfortable ride possible. I realise this is a highly subjective subject but looking for some feedback on the most comfortable and quietest tyres with a soft compliant sidewall. Not concerned with grip, wear, cost, looks etc, Im focused on achieving a true magic carpet ride at low speeds on poor roads. Recommendations welcome. I'm not a massive wheel, low profile tyre merchant ! Thanks. Buster.
