Softening the ride.

[AllFumbs]

Hello, All.

I don't own an iQ yet but am after a 1.0 Multidrive. In case I find the ride too firm even on 15-inch rims is there a cheap solution; such as even smaller wheels shod with tyres with taller sidewalls? I'm not fussed about looks, and ultimate handling and roadholding: comfort is key.

Thank you in advance,

Hi, today I upgraded to 16" rims and surprisingly the ride is a lot softer, not sure if it was because I now have better quality tyres but I'd personally recommend upgrading the shocks or springs instead of tyres - with thicker tyre walls, the car will become less stable in corners - let us know how you get on
