best for cruising?

[71dustar]

I'm looking for another set of wheels for the duster but more for cruising since a friend and I may be planning a 700 mile road trip around AZ. Instead of going with aftermarket, I'd like to go after some rally style wheel but not sure which would be best: 14" or 15". Is there a noticeable difference between the two?

Ciao,

Way more size choices with a 15" wheel.

As the wheel size increase 14-15-16etc... The greater the tire selection.

With more choices, the amount of rubber between the wheel and the road can be changed for ride comfort. A larger diameter wheel in it's self has the abilty to give a better ride because the smaller wheel is effected by road conditions more. In example, same size pot hole, small tire falls in, bigger tire rolls over it. This in diameter of wheel alone.

15,s all around will change your gear ratio a bit,depending on tire size.This will help with gas mileage on a long trip.Enjoy your cruise and drive safe!:coffee2:

I noticed a big difference in ride quality when I switched to 15's from 14's.

go with 15's you will have better chances of finding a tire if you lose one in the middle of nowhere.
