Default Scoring wheel 6mm or 10mm ?

I have just bought a rubi cutter which came with a 6mm and a 10mm scoring wheels,Which wheel would be best to use on 150x150 and 100x200 ceramic tiles.
Many thanks.

yep agreed. bigger one for bigger tiles in general.

However i change it now and again with surprisingly good results if the tiles are breaking with a rough edge. Suck it and see i suppose

The harder the tile, the larger the wheel, generally.

When I used my Rubi, (I don't anymore) i found the smaller wheel was better for scoring porc' tiles than the 10mm one.

I forgot to add "and/or the rougher the surface" Atleast that's my experience. It's all about getting the scoring as even as possible.
