Bumpy ride on skinny tyres
My Skoda Superb SE is spoiled by hard ride on 17-inch wheels with 225/45 tyres. I've been advised to go for 225/50 tyres. Is this a good idea?

the 16" size should be 205/55 R16 or 205/60 R16.

Limousine-like amounts of rear legroom. Clever dual tailgate means it's both a hatch and a saloon. GreenLine model is very economical. A lot of car for the money.
