I'm about to switch our MWB Ducato to all-season tyres, and wondering if I'm missing a trick not spending on some 16" steel rims first...
During a recent continental foray I noticed how the majority of Sevel light chassis panel vans had 16" wheel rims fitted.
I'm talking recent branded conversions, still as they left the factory; both steel and OE alloys.
I feel the bigger wheels does make them look better, and more proportionate; IMO the 15s are a bit tea-trolley-ish...
However does anyone have any experience if this makes them handle better or gives a softer ride?
- I assume a bigger tyre has a bigger capacity which allows lower pressure at the same weight...
- or is the whole thing just vanity?
All views welcome!
