The smallest wheels offered the best ride quality, too, though with a slight reduction in perceived stability. By contrast, the 19-inch wheels gave too harsh a ride on rough surfaces.

Read More »Lots of new cars offer multiple wheel sizes, but which should you pick? Bigger wheels look cool, but wheel and tire size has a huge effect on ride, handling, and noise. And unfortunately with wheels, you can't usually can't test drive them before you make a purchase. That's why this video from UK site Tyre Review is so helpful. The folks at Tyre Review take a Volkswagen Golf GTI to Goodyear's test track in the south of France and compare how it drives on the 17-, 18-, and 19-inch wheels it's available with from the factory. To make it a fair comparison, Tyre Review used Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 3 tires in identical overall diameters on each wheel size, running the car through six objective performance tests. You can see the full performance data on Tyre Review's site, but in dry and wet handling/braking tests, plus an aquaplaning test, the three wheel and tire packages performed nearly identically. Really, the biggest difference between the three wheel sizes is subjective—you’ll notice different ride and handling characteristics if you swap sizes, even if the ultimate performance test data doesn't show a major difference. So, do you go bigger or smaller? That depends on what you want. In dry conditions, Tyre Review's tester preferred the sharper feel of the 19-inch wheels, but in the wet, he found the 17-inch wheels offered easier, more predictable handling. The smallest wheels offered the best ride quality, too, though with a slight reduction in perceived stability. By contrast, the 19-inch wheels gave too harsh a ride on rough surfaces. In terms of noise, surprisingly, the 18-inch wheels were the quietest, but perceived loudness has as much to do with pitch as it does decibel count. All considered, Tyre Review preferred the 18-inch wheels for the GTI, since they offer the best compromise between ride, handling, and noise. As with most automotive choices, it all comes down to what you prefer in your car. This content is imported from YouTube.

Assuming a completely smooth road and neglecting the weight of the wheels, it makes no difference: you still need to do the same amount of work. Essentially, larger wheels give you a higher gear ratio, so doubling the diameter of the wheels would mean you'd only need to turn them half as many times, so you'd only need to turn the pedals half as many times, but you need to press twice as hard on them. But, in reality, there are limits to what you can do. If you need to lift 100kg of wood, it's easier to lift 10kg at a time, even though the total work done is the same as when you lift the whole lot at once. Similarly, you'll be more physiologically efficent (and comfortable!) pedalling with certain ranges of cadence and force. Bigger wheels roll over bumps better. As an easy thought experiment, consider a pit whose width is equal to the diameter of your wheel. Obviously, the wheel will fall right into the pit. But if you consider a wheel with twice that diameter, it will only drop a little way into the pit as it bridges over it. In practice, though, there aren't a whole lot of wheel sizes to choose from. Either you get a folding bike with small wheels, or you get a non-folding bike with wheels about 62cm/29in in diameter (or about 56cm/26in for mountain bikes).
