tire recommendation?

I have a 1995 Volvo T-5R with 111,000 miles, and I have been using Kumho 235/40R-17 tires which I don't like. I would like to replace all 4 of them with something good, and I am considering the BFG g Force Sport and the Michelin Pilot Exalto PE2.
So, do you have a tire recommendation, and would switching back to the OEM size of 205/45 17 help the overall ride quality (it's a bit harsh right now with the Kumhos, my old springs and shocks... I know it's a T-5R, but, hey...) My springs and shocks are being replaced as we speak, so that should help a little, I hope!

I've got Potenza G009's and love them, my father put Exalto's on my mother's s40 and they are real nice too but I like the Potenza's better

We love the Turanza LS-V on our present V70. On our old 850 we ran Turanza LS-H. They are made by Bridgeston. Very quiet and comfy ride and at the same time does great in the wet... check out www.tirerack.com for ratings and owner experiences with different tires. Been buying all of my tires from them for the last 8 or so years.
