Hello guys!
My car is an FK10 Civic.
I just recently traded my OEM 17" rims with 235 45/R17 tyres (Michelin Primacy 3) for 18"rims with 235 40/R18 (Continental TS850). I know it's not logical to have the bigger rims for winter but because of a small mistake I made that's how things turned out.
I was expecting the ride to be harsher, and it is, but I also feel like the cars vibrates at relatively slow speeds from ~50km/h (31mph) to ~100km/h (62mph), even when the road seems to be smooth. I'm struggling to differentiate if what I feel is due to vibrations (not normal), or if it's only poor ride quality due to the bigger rims (predictable).
What's your experience on this guys? Did any of you make the same jump I did from 17 to 18? Was the difference shocking for you in terms of ride?
