Alloy wheels + tyres best comfort size?

[theog]

Afternoon all,

New to the forum, so this is somewhat Hi at the same time 👍

To be frank, I don't know which model my IQ is, however it has the following sized wheel 175 / 60 / r16.

Firstly I'm finding it hard to find the brands of tyres I like. So far falken seem to be the best. Just wondering what people will say about best for comfort?

On a side note, I want to change the alloys to something more futuristic. Almost like the electric car ones. Just wondering if going up to 17" could increase chances of tyres / alloy wheel options.

That being said, I dont want to trash the ride quality. Just wondering what would be the highest people would recommend. I've never bought aftermarket alloys before, so not really sure what would be compatible to be honest.

Thoughts welcome.

Best,

Theo
