Default Is it 185/65 R14 or 185/65R14

Hi Rishi & Lambroghini,

Changing to wider tires is some thing I have been considering. Is there a problem going for 185/65R14 ? I think even 195/???R14s are recommended for Petra 1.6. I dont want 185/60R14, it may lower the ground clearence a little bit. I'd preferably go for 185/65R14 or taller ones. The taller ones may touch the body though ? The reason for taller ones is to improve ground clearence if possible.

Can you also share the money incurred in changing the tires ? Did you have to change the rims for tubeless option ?

Please share ur experience. My Petra is approx 2 years old, has done only 11000 KMs. It will be a little while before I can replace the wheels/ tires.

I'd appreciate any information shared.

Instead of Goodyear NCT's, try Potenza's though (GIII).
