Dear experts, I am looking for upgrade of my getz 14'' tires. I went to the tire dealership and he showed some kind of a rocking contraption to prove the superiority of the Michelin XM1. Needless to say I was sold.


I was suggested 195 / 60 / R 14 by our resident experts. My aim is to get as much road grip as possible. But I want to avoid a rim change (If possible) so that I can use that money towards petes box.

The tire dealer told me that 185/60/R14 is the max size that can be fitted on the stock rim . 195/60/R14 would require new rims.


If 195/60/R14 is minimum requirement for getz to make it safe, then I will bite the bullet and go for new rims.

If I have to go for new rims, then it begs the question , how much bigger can I make the tires to take advantage of the new rim ?

Also , I was given the following prices ( chennai dealer )

1. Exchange for my stock tires 1500 Rupees/tire
2. Michellin XM1 185/60/r14 3990 Rupees/tire
3. Michellin XM1 195/60/r14 4400 Rupees/tire

Do these seem correct?
