Bad ride - will smaller wheels help?
I have a one year old Suzuki Grand Vitara 2.4-litre petrol. The ride is very bouncy at low speeds, and only better at above 50mph. What can I do?
Tyre size 225-60-18, Dunlop SP Sport. I love the car, but cannot live with the ride quality.

Unfortunately, nothing much apart from go down a wheel size to the Five-spoke 17-inch alloys with 225/65 R17 tyres fitted to the SWB.
