Ford Mondeo - which wheel size is best?
I'm in the process of buying a new Ford Mondeo Zetec Business Edition. However, the 16-inch alloys are a no-cost option against the standard fit 17-inch - which is likely to be the better bet?

Go for the 16-inch with 205/55 R16s, which will give you a more comfortable ride, better fuel economy and longer tyre life.
Real MPG enables you to register the fuel economy you are actually getting against your make and model of car, its engine and type of transmission.
Every time you enter an average consumption figure against your car, the overall average automatically adjusts to reflect it.
