The added sidewall for 21"a is a nice feeling when parking near kerbs, but unless the 22" are that bad if it is ride quality you are after I don't find these particularly forgiving in that dept.! |

I have recently taken these off and will be putting up for sale if you’re interested.

Believe it or not, 21” wheels have less sidewall/kerb protection than 22” wheels & tyres… 21” tyres are very squared off compared to 22” which have more of a rounded sidewall so gives better rim protection! My wife can 100% vouch for this! Every week she rimmed the 21’s! The 22’s have been on for a year now and touch wood! Not a kerb mark to date… |

I do see what Craig is saying, a couple of my old 21” are quite scuffed mostly done in the first few weeks of owning the car…., but touch wood not marked the new 21’s. If I could find an unmarked set of 1046’s I might be tempted into 22’s….. There is nothing that can't be fixed with a hammer😜😜

Thanks. I’m going to stick for the time being I think. I’ve another year or so on the current tyres before they need replacing so I may stick a set of GG AT3s on it and see if the softer sidewalls make much difference. 2021 3.0 P400 Vogue
