Which is more comfortable over bumpy roads & potholes, 50i( 21" 215s) or X6M (20")
Our roads are very crappy and full of potholes, speed bumps and other nuisances. I have the 21" 215s in Ferric and they make my 50 very bumpy. Would the X6M with the standard M 20" wheels offer a worse or more comfortable ride?
Thanks |

The tire diameter is virtually the same regardless of the wheel size - the just lower the sidewall profile of the tire as the wheel get's larger. The shorter profile with a large wheel has less "flex" and rides rougher on bad roads. If you want a better ride change to a smaller wheel and a tire with a taller sidewall. |

Try deflating a little air from all the tiers, maybe 2 PSI since u might be on runflats. Might not be as responsive, but the ride should be a little smoother.
