40 series sidewall - Toyota Yaris Forums

JustYYaris · 03-12-2007, 02:58 PM

As I continue to ponder about my wheel purchase this spring, I worry about the ride comfort of sitting on 215/40/17. I drive quite a bit because I commute to grad school and I substitute teach, is the comfort level of the low profile tire really harsh? I traded my jeep to get my yaris and hated the ride the jeep had, but that was obviously due to the suspension and not tire sidewall (had 30" tires). Could anyone riding on a similar tire give their comments on the quality of the ride after switching? I have the factory 15 steelies as a frame of reference. Thanks for your responses!
