    Are bigger wheels better?

    Ford Ford Advice Ford Falcon Ford Falcon Advice Ford Falcon 2016 Holden Holden Advice Holden Commodore Holden Commodore Advice Holden Commodore 2016

    I often wonder why car manufacturers put different size wheels on similar models of cars, for instance both Falcons and Commodores can have wheels from 16 inch to 19 inch. Does the larger wheel give a more comfortable ride?

    Larger wheels are used mostly for styling and image reasons, plus the fact that the carmakers can charge more for them. As for the ride, larger wheels go in tandem with low profile tyres, which ride harder and are less comfortable.
