Cost?

Im planning to have tubeless 155/ R70 tyre.

Do let me know your valuable suggestion....

I would suggest u to stick to stock setting n get 12" alloys....MRF ZVTS tyres are really good tyres.....exceptional grip(for that size), longgg life but noisy

If u are a highway cruiser n want some grip n handling at the cost of ride quality then u should go for 165/60-13 rubber with 5J alloys....

I've got my car shodded with 13" HR alloy wheels. But it can sometimes (when loaded with heavy people) touch the wheel wells and it can seriously damage the tyres. So I had to bend some of the metal and now it's fine. So unless you have somebody who can do some modification to the wheel wells, it's safe to stick with 12 inchers. But the 13" can really improve the looks of your car for sure.

I've got Michelin Certis 155/70 R13 tyres. And those tyres are doing a great job. They look good and perform well too. Only thing is that the tyres are not uni-directional. What brands are you looking for?
Good suggestion speedzak...!!
Its a rarity to see people advise against upsizing their tyres....

Tyres are touching bcos u have 5.5J alloys n not 5J alloys
