Hi Everyone,
I have a 2019 Škoda Karoq 1.6 TDI Style DSG that has crossed 85.000 km and I am looking to upgrade tires. I currently have 215 50 R18's, however would really like to upgrade to 215 55 R18's as there are many more options to choose from for less money and more importantly would provide for a more comfortable ride. I do not believe clearance would be an issue as it seems like there is plenty of room for the extra 5% of sidewall however I see the recommendations of going with a 55 sidewall are with a 205 55 R17. Does anyone have experience in going with this size tire and if so what are the pros and cons? Would you recommend it? (I do not want to purchase 17 inch wheels). Thanks in advance.
