17" or 18" wheels
My factory wheels are a mess so needing to purchase new wheels along with tires. I was thinking 18" but when discussed with a tire shop (good rep) the guy said alot of folks are going back to 17" because of better wear and handling characteristics of the 17". Also I noticed the choices in 17" are greater.
I really want a stiff sidewall high mileage tire for towing. I was thinking 18" to reduce sidewall height.
What does everyone think?
Experiences?
Do you think 18" selection will get greater with time?
