Hi,

If you were to compare the OEM 19" HSE wheels to the OEM 20", what would you say the differences are? Is the ride comfort much worse on the 20"?

Thanks,

It depends if you have the Dynamic pack fitted or not.

This topic has been discussed at length, loads of times before. Do a search through Supertrotters posts, he has recently swapped his 19"s for 20" stormer alloys. Arctic Frost TDV6 SE.

I had an LR3 with 19's and it was quiet as could be and smooth even at highway speeds. My RRS has 20inch wheels and the road noise is very noticeable and the ride stiffer. I don't know if its the bigger wheels or the sport suspension, but I'm sure the wheels contribute. 2006 RRS Silver/Black

Claus, it depends if you have Dynamic Response fitted. Unfortunately I don't and have replaced my 19's for OE 20" Stormers.

It makes the ride a lot more 'Crashy' over imperfections, 'Jiggly' driving down B-roads and tyre noise is quite a bit more noticable.

I just can't get past the looks - Java on Stormers looks fantastic and Mrs ST is now happy with my 20"s............  Runner up - 2009 Best Avatar Award

hello chaps

I've got Dynamic Response and 20" wheels on my TDV6, but these were fitted at the factory so I haven't driven a car without these bits so can't make the comparison.. I do find that it's crashy & boomy from the rear wheels and I've also got a curious knocking on the front suspension when travelling over uneven roads/ potholes. It sounds to me like the noise at the front is from worn/ poorly located anti-roll bar drop links but the dealer reckons it's in the steering rack.. so far they have had the car for 6 days in the last couple of weeks to solve this, and have fitted a new rack, but the noise is still there. Work in progress I'm afraid. Will post updates as and when I have anything to report.

I've driven the TDV6 on 19's - but as I drive the s/chrgd all I can say is the TDV6 was a lot smoother/cushioned.
