What tyres could I fit to my 2011 Honda Civic to improve ride comfort?
Whilst I'm pretty happy with my 2011 Honda Civic, I do find that I feel every bump whilst driving around the fens. It's fitted with Bridgestone Potenza 5001 225/45R 17-inch tyres. Are there any alternative tyres that I could fit that may help or is it simply the size of the wheels that are the issue?

Yes. You can go down to 16-inch wheels with 55 profile tyres and if you fit Michelin Cross Climates you will get a much better, quieter ride. You can't fit deeper profile tyres to the existing 17-inch wheels.
From choosing the right tyre to what to do when it goes wrong - we have the answers.
