Skoda Superb - which tyres are best?
I am looking to buy a Skoda Superb 1.4 SE L and the standard wheels are 18-inch. They do a 17-inch wheels with super rowi tyres. I understand that these are low rolling resistance tyres. Would these tyres give a better ride than the 18s?

17-inch wheels have deeper profile tyres for the same rolling circumference than 18-inch wheels so, in theory, should cushion the ride a bit better. Michelin does Cross Climate tyres in the correct 215/55 R17 size (same as my HRV) and they will improve the ride still further.
