Can anyone comment on the 17 inch vs. 18 inch wheels?

Online reviews invariably test the higher spec LBX models with 18 inch wheels, and many of those reviews describe the ride as firm. Do the lower spec LBX models with 17 inch wheels provide a softer ride?

Going to smaller diameter wheels, with the correct higher aspect tyres, will be more forgiving over rough road surfaces, with marginally better protection from potholes. The down side could be less positive handling and directional stability but personally, I don't think it would be significant.

If looks are not a priority I would always go with the small rims and taller tyres.
