Peugeot 2008 - which wheel size is best?

The Peugeot 2008 1.2 PureTech 110 petrol finally appears to be available - would it be better (quieter and more economical) on 16 or 17-inch wheels?

Quieter, more economical with better ride quality on 16-inch wheels than on 17s. Only has a slightly sloppy five-speed box, so not as good as the Puretech 130 with six-speed box in the 308.

Excellent 1.2-litre PureTech petrol engine, more spacious and practical than the 208, post-facelift version looks smart.
