[mkmy]

salamhope u guys would enlighten wrt the appended issue:model? 318 e46 2.0wheels? 235 / 40 / 18 (non-staggered for all 4)driving style? leisure, not bold enuff to tackle corners like karak highway ones.so? aiming for comfort rather than performance. how? higher profile tyres, i guess.then? seeking advice whether i shud go back to stock (205 / 55 / 16) or just 1" deduction (215/ 45 / 17) without "killing" the look?tq / mkmy

16" would definitely give you the required comfort levels. A higher tire profile will give you a better "cushioning" effect.

Not only that, fuel consumption also better and can achieve top speed faster.. :top:

U should try 15", cheap tyres summore..

Only problem is the look sucks and high speed stability sucks.

totally agree with both of you, i am using 225/45/17, and 45 profile aint gonna give you comfort, if you want comfort, go for 16" and below
