Should I replace the low profile tyres on my Skoda Karoq Edition?
I have recently purchased a Skoda Karoq Edition 2020 and whilst I am happy with the overall spec and performance I am not taken by the standard low profile tyres fitted. To me they seem to give a hard bumpy ride, especially on the country lanes around where I live. Would you recommend using a higher profile tyre that would improve the ride or is it wishful thinking on my part?

The hard and bumpy ride will be caused by a combination of the large wheels and low-profile tyres. Edition models are fitted with 19- or 20-inch wheels as standard. A deeper profile tyre may provide some small improvement in ride quality, otherwise you may want to consider changing to 17s or 18s.
