215/60R16 tyres on narrow 6J rims should give a very comfortable ride, especially if the tyre chosen has soft flexible sidewalls such as all-season tyres from Continental, Goodyear, Michelin, and Vredestein.

 

For maximum comfort, avoid UHP summer tyres. These tend to have stiff sidewalls for maximum cornering performance at the expensive of ride comfort.

 

215/60R16 is a really good size for comfort and economy on the Karoq. Notice in the chart above that it says 2.2 Bar (32psi) tyre pressure with this size. If you use 225/60R16 you would need to reduce the tyre pressure by 0.2 Bar (3psi) to get improved ride comfort. However, running lower tyre pressure, ie. 29psi (2 Bar) will make the handling worse.

 

If you're willing to accept a harder and more uncomfortable ride but with the benefit of sharper steering/handling, then I would suggest 225/60R16 tyres on wider 7Jx16 ET45 rims. This rim specification was fitted to the Yeti and Superb MK2, and there's three rims available called FORREST, MOON, and NEVIS
