Wheel size - what would you recommend?

We are trading in our 59 reg Jazz S which rides comfortably on 175/65R15 tyres for a new Jazz ES Plus supplied with 185/55R16. Do you foresee any downside?

It won't ride as well and ride quality of a Jazz is fairly marginal anyway. They never had great suspension.

I'm baffled by the different wheel sizes on offer for the same model of car. Often the higher spec models have bigger wheels. Are there any advantages to these bigger tyres, which seem to be considerably...
