I dont drive too fast,nor do i corner too hard. i just want my car to be expressway stable at speed upto 120

Most importantly can 165/75-13 or 175/70-13 fit onto the same stock rim what would be advisable in my case please help
Hi,

165/75-13 would be a good upsize. This can go into your stock rim. But no tyres from Michelin for this size. 175/70-13 is the next best upsize and you can go for Michelin XM1 on stock rim.

If you want to go for Michelin XM1+ (much better than XM1) you could do a plus one upsizing to 185/60-14. You could think of changing your stock rims to alloys in this case.

Both shall suit your requirements I feel.
