Which wheel size for my C4 Grand Picasso?
I am thinking of getting a new company car - C4 Grand Picasso.
Depending on trim level , the supplied wheels are 16" or 17"
Does the larger wheel have any effect on ride quality?
I have read many times in your column about larger wheels and lower profile tyres wrecking ride quality on some makes.
The manufacturer options are 215/55 R16 or 215/50 R17, on the Edition and Platinum trim levels respectively.
