Bridgestone tires on Maxima GLE 2003

i don't like the ride that these Bridgestone Turanza EL 42 are giving- every bump on the road is trasmitted - tires inflated to 33PSI all around to nissan manufacturer's handbook. i checked the Michelin site & got an equivalent tire:

Your Vehicle's OE Size : P215/55R17 93H
Tires fitting your preferences are ranked in order below, based on performance ratings.
Lower Performance = 1 Best Performance = 10
Michelin Energy MXV4 Plus
Overall Score : 8.2
Anyone use these tires ? opinion needed for the time when i need replacements (can't wait to get rid of these Bridgestones)

Mnnn...why do I think that's the OEM tire

for the sportier Honda Accords? If yes, that's a good tire for ride and comfort...may not be the best performance tire but then again, does'nt seem to me that's what you're after so...seems a good choice to me...

I used to drive these all the time on my cars. They ride well, and handle pretty well (especially good in the rain). As noted above, not the best performance tire, but pretty decent.
