new tyres

Hello, The time has come to buy new tyres...I have just been made redundant , so money is tight at the moment, I thought I'd try Comforser Cf1100 tyres. I have 19" wheels at the moment but I also have a set of 17" wheels, the price is about the same for both sizes, so I'm asking whats best? Live on a farm and tow quite a lot, any thoughts?? thanks mike

17" any day.

19" are poodle rims!

If you get bogged you can let them down. More chance of getting out with more side wall to play with.

I have 18" poodle rims. I wanted 17", but 18" came with the car & it was too expensive to buy 6 new rims. 2 spares for the outback. Procrastination, mankind's greatest labour saving device!

WROTE THIS IN MAY '22

Had Continental's cross contact as per original spec fitted in 2016; did 39,400 on deliberately downsized 17" wheels, across the whole of Europe, alps, Pyrenees, etc. Fantastic tyre, secure, smooth, stable. Changed them in 2019 for Pirelli all season; what a disaster. Thought there was something seriously wrong with alignment or steering mech,, had it checked three times. Car wandered all over the place with every change of road surface, potholes, white lines etc. I could even tell the sex of a dead bird! They failed MOT after 23,000 and changed back to Contis in May. What a staggering difference; the car is immediately back to it's stable, secure positive self with no wandering issues. Speak as you find by Continentals are now my default tyre.
