How is the driving experience difference between 15 or 17 inches wheels on Gen 4?

I have a white/ gray 2011 five and a black/black 2016 4touring -- both came with 17". Drove many Gen 3's before I purchased -- The noise and ride difference was somewhat noticeable on the 2011 .. but very slight with the 17" bridgestone. The handling was noticeably better on the five -- I don't know if this was the wheels/tires or the different steering -- combination.

I really did not notice any difference with the 2016. I only drove a couple Gen 4's -- mostly to see if I still did not want the sunroof and if I could take the black interior. They had to find me a 4touring -- so I did not drive back to back.

We got mid to high 50's with both cars depending on drivers. I noticed a drop with the michelin tires on the gen3. I got 58mpg with the gen 4 the other day .. never hit that on the gen 3.

The 4touring is a nice combination. I never use the sunroof, but the extra light they bring into the cabin is need with some cars .. the pries has so much glass I don't think needed. Touring get the safety items without having to get the HUD or the parking assist.
