Currently running 255/35 on 20” rims, looking at going for 255/50 Will this improve ride comfort.. standard suspension on LWB transporter … thanks for any help advice on this

Have tried experimenting with tyre pressure? I settled for 42 and 40 on my 20inch rims with some experimenting at higher and lower values.

255 50 is way to large. It will look daft, probably rub and throw your speedo out of whack. Plus I doubt it will add much comfort.

I run 255 40 at 44psi and find them OK even when lowered around 80mm.
