Sweet Spot ?

[SimonRhys]

Morning all !!

Looking for some opinions on wheel and tyre sizes.

I'm currently running some 20" steels 8 up front with 245 40 and 10 on the rear with 275 35

I'm looking at going for some 18" with a bit more rubber.... with the hope that it will help with the ride a little. I know it's more than likely my current suspension set up (Stance + coilers) but I'm hoping there will be a bit of improvement? I don't mind the firm ride, it's more the jarring crashes from the multiple potholes we're having to navigate.

So my question: Has anyone found a sweet spot for wheel & tyre size??

Cheers !

C - Gardeners World.

It's the suspension that has the biggest influence on ride quality, there are 19" wheels too but get the suspension that gets the most likes on here or just ask Steve to put you out of your misery then see how those 20s feel.

Yeah I appreciate this...... Might have a look for some comforts then.
