Tire Size For 20s

What is the ideal tire size for 20s I just bought myself some and the low profiles are terrible?

Re: Tire Size For 20s

I'm not sure what the ideal size is. Depending on one's perference, 40s and 45s series are popular choices. Some go with the same tire size all around while others run wider widths in the rear and smaller ones in the front. Of course, they're running a lesser width wheel in the front. Low profiles don't absorb the road shock like the taller sidewall wheels. To improve the ride, the suspension could be upgraded, i.e. like bagging...
