What tyres give the best ride?

What are the best tyres for a comfortable ride on a Volvo XC40 hybrid?

Asked on 14 March 2024 by Christopher Robin Venner

Generally speaking, the larger the sidewall of a tyre the better bump absorption it offers. Starting with the tyre size currently fitted to your car, we would suggest that increasing the aspect ratio - the second two digits - by 5 in order to provide a taller sidewall and improve the ride quality. We would suggest checking on blackcircles.com where you can search by vehicle registration or tyre size.
