Get those tyre's changed... It was a eye sore to see a red hot palio with front bumper caved in and radiator leaking and stranded in middle of the road. |

I am wondering how this was experinced in a NV or a 1.6. |
It may be because of 165/80R13s you have. I think 1.6 has 175/65R14. Well the tire brand and model also could make a difference.
