What's ride comfort like with those on. The Estima must rely on a certain amount of flexibility in the tyres, so does such a small wall aloow much ride comfort. Let's face it, they're never going to be a sports car, so handling isn't what a big set of wheels and low profiles are for, so I assume it's purely for looks. How do they look & how's the handling vs comfort?? Regards, Rob. | |||||||||

| tyres I have run 215/45/17 with no problems - the Kumho tyre was the best. I am currently on 235/40/18 - not too bad but I have some suspension work to do which will definately make it better. | ||||||||

| If your new wheels are smaller in diameter than the origonals, then you will get less mileage........per gallon.........and the speedo will not give you the correct speed reading. ade.

| I find the ride comfort ok, it also has lowered down suspension. It is more for looks than comfort mind, they do look very good, will post some piccies up when I get a chance. I have just driven to Vernon France and back, and was fine unless you go off the beaten track and find a bumpy road  When I have to get new tyres fitted I will go with a higher profile tyre, because the low profile isn't really needed.
