I made the mistake of getting the 20-inch wheel option on my Cadillac. The ride is fine but the road noise is an issue

Also, somehow the cost of thinner tires are far more for some reason. Wait til you have to replace one.

And if you hit a pothole, much more likely to bend a rim with thin tire.

My Mercedes Benz Unimogs came stock with 20 inch wheels.

The ride is great, but when you put the windows down, (newer one) or remove the doors, top and fold down the windshield (on the older one), you need ear protection.

Of course the 46 inch high 15.50 Michelins have some really open tread.

I have been told that you can hear the newer one coming from 4 miles away.
