Thanks all for the various opinions. Picking up a set of 16s tomorrow ex ebay for the grand sum of £82 complete with usable tyres. Will report back when tried.

Big difference in that
My county is broke. The roads look worse than in some Eastern European place! If you drive say through Düsseldorf, then you are on the finest asphalt. If you drive through say Bremen you get the worst Belgian plaster...

Soften suspension .. how to !
I have 2.4 auto and the ride was abismal.
On 17 inch wheels I changed to 225 50 17 and it made big difference though they do touch liner on full lock. Final improvement was using Koni Active struts all round ... fantastic difference .. firmish but compliant ... no crashing bangs! Comfort at last. Watch You Tube about struts. Highly recommend them £500 well spent. |
