I have no idea, but these may be worth looking at. My GT rides pretty good and I see no reason to change mine for now.

You might air down a little. Some other users here are going with low 30s psi up front to smooth out the ride. Paging @mkhuffman...

I went down to 32 psi cold and as measured by an external gauge. Often the car reports 33 or higher, especially when driving. I put the rears at 40 psi cold. I have found the lower pressure in the front makes the ride a lot smoother. But it does not reduce the bounce.

I recommend starting with 34 psi all around and then changing the pressure until you have what you think is good. I would not go below 32 psi for safety reasons.

Tire pressure definitely impacts range which is why I have the rears at 40. I don't know how much the lower pressure in the front has impacted range but I suspect less than 5%.

Low rolling resistance tires are typically not as smooth but they have better range. There is a trade off and you have to determine if it is worth it.
