My name is Balaji and I have recently joined this forum. I currently drive a Hyundai Accent GLE. I have now decided to buy the Getz CRDI after taking a test drive yesterday. It has an awesome engine, looking forward to own one soon.

I want to fit it with tubeless tyres and 14 inch alloys. I read many posts here about various options and would like some recommendation to suit my usage. So please suggest options based on my requirements and constraints. As you know the stock car has 175/65 R14 tyres.

1. Usage - Mainly in the city and occasionaly on the highway.

2. Fuel efficiency - Very important, so any modifications should not bring it down considerably.

3. Ride quality - No compromise here. I do not want to feel the bumps on the roads in Chennai because of very low profile tyres. I changed the tyres for my Accent from stock 175/70 R13 to 195/60 R14 and now I am able to feel that the ride has become very harsh.

4. Handling - Although I like to rev the car on empty roads, I am not going to take a sharp turn at high speeds. I noticed that the steering on my Accent has become tight, so don't want the same with Getz.

5. Pete's Box - I might go for one in the future.

So, with these points in mind, please suggest the right tyre size and brand for the car.

Thanks,
Balaji
