@kpzen, will 185/60R13 goodyear ventura do good instead of going for an alloy change. When should I go to R14 ? Is it that larger rim will give a lower profile when you keep the entire tyre height the same ? Will going larger R14 will increase the wheel well scrapping problem ?

I am a bit confused here, why everyone is going for higher rim sizes while tyre manufacturers are providing tyres of various profiles (sidewall heights) for the same stock rim size. In my case R13 and good year provides 185/60/R13.

@Technocrat, will add the future posts as per the guideline of 15mins single post. Thanks


A good link which answers the above question of why R14 is needed
But someone knowledgeable has to certify.
