Do Michelin Energy XM2 tyres provide a comfortable ride?

...

I currently have Bridgestone Ecopia EP850, (215/65R16 98H) tyres on my Subaru Forester and I am not very happy, as the ride is very harsh at 36 psi, and would like your opinion on the Michelin Energy XM2 215/65R16 98H for a better ride and less road noise.

The Michelins would probably give you a more comfortable ride, and the road noise should be better. Before ditching your Bridgestones you could try lowering the inflation pressure to 32 psi and see if that makes your life more pleasant.
