Not about big women :lol: I'm running 215/40/17 tyres on after market wheels but the ride with bad road surfaces is bad so would it be better to get some like 215/50/17 or use 205/50/16 as I have honda 16 in wheels here so what ride be best guys girls

205/50's is recommended size on 16" wheels.
Ive had 16&17's but for everyday driving 16" are best imo ;)

215/45/17 is recommended size on 17s.

Massive improvement in ride.

Also compound plays a big difference.

Yea it's a hard thing of getting tyres for the 16 in or new ones for the 17in hard to decide which be best
