Default 20" or 17" tires?

Which rides better? My dad is ordering a 2007 this week and wants the best ride possible.

I dont think you can tell a difference between 17" and 20". But I would recommend going to the nearest dealer and test driving both.

17's obviously have a better ride, MORE RUBBER! However, I have had 17's, 20's, and 24's. I would go with looks over ride anyday! The tahoe in general is a great riding vehicle! NO matter what size wheel you go with the ride will still be better than most other vehicles.

20"s are becoming the norm. I was a little sketical getting 20's at first (never had anything over 18" before), but the Tahoe rides so well that the 20's ride great. Bear in mind I do have the auto-ride suspension and not sure how it would ride without auto-ride.

Like another post before mine - go to the dealer and try them both out.

I had 18's on my last Tahoe and it was a very smooth ride. The 20's on my '07 might ride a little rougher but the handling seems to be alot better.(I don't have auto-ride) I'd vote for the 20's, but it's worth taking a test drive like the others said.
