I have just purchased a 2018 Fabia Estate which has been fitted with 16" Skoda alloy wheels and 215/45/16 tyres by a previous owner. I find the ride a bit harsh and was considering fitting 215/60/16 tyres which are not so low profile. Has anyone fitted this size of tyres and maybe comment on them. I understand the standard fitment on this model was 185/60/15 but would I prefer not to swap to 15" wheels if possible due to the expense.

That change of taller sidewall is not going to work. Best look narrower tyre and more sidewall. What pressure are you running, and what are the tyres? Are they XL, Reinforced sidewall?

So from what you are saying I would be better off changing back to the OEM fitment of 15" wheels and 185/60/15 tyres.

No, saying maybe go narrower and more sidewall. Maybe go All Season Tyres. What tyres are fitted? @Carlston is the fount of knowledge.
