yeah spose you've got a point actually i really like nimrods but you see them on pretty much every other 206 just fancied somethin a little bit different which's why the harriers went on
Cheers for the replies

Author: Pugsy, Location: Stoke On Trent, StaffordshirePosted: Wed May 11, 2011 3:48 pm ---- each to their own i've got nothin agenst them just like a comfy ride, wouldnt mind 17's usually but comforts a necessity cuz of awful chairs on checkouts at work, kills your back lol

The wheel size being 17" has nothing to do with ride. The size profile of the tyre will give you the smoothness you need. If you go for a 40 profile tyre it will be a bad ride regardless of what size wheel you use!
I had 15" with a 45 profile tyre and found it very crashey over potholes and bumps.
