Hello,
I've recently bought a 1.2 Tekna Pulsar and I'm finding the ride is much too harsh on the poor roads around where I live, the tyres are the standard fitment 18" low profile 40, which I believe is the main cause of the poor ride.
My question is -- I would like to fit 17" 205/60/17 tyres/wheels, or fit some 17" wheels from a different version of Pulsar so as to get the higher profile for comfort .

Any suggestions will be greatly received, regards from Neale.
Tyre swop from 18" to 17"

Just been out to look - mine are Michelin Pilot's 215/45. and I can't say they feel overly hard.
Might be worth you exploring just different tyres rather than wheels as well. It will be cheaper for a start.
