Will a Honda CR-V offer good ride quality on 18-inch wheels?

I am interested in a 2010 Honda CR-V 2.0 i-VTEC petrol automatic, which is fitted with 18-inch alloys. Noting your earlier comments on ride quality with larger wheels, do you have any views on this model?

17-inch is the smallest size for the CR-V, with 225/65 tyres, but 18-inch with 225/60 tyres are okay because the large tyres are still quite deep profile. I ran one on 18s for six months and it was fine. Just avoid 19-inch with 245/45 tyres.
