215/55/16 has a sidewall of 119 mm, so will definitely make a noticeable difference in the ride quality. 195/60/16 has a sidewall of 117mm which is still better than your existing tyres. I would avoid 195/65/16, it is too tall and will give you a big speedo error and may touch. 215/55/16 seems perfect, will look better as well. | |

I've read somewhere that "Avoid bigger wheels if you want a smoother ride". Last edited by kamilharis : 8th October 2020 at 15:02. | |

BHPian ![]() | ![]() Thanks to all the BHPians for your inputs. Based on the valuable comments above, I think I must be going for 215/55/R16 for better ride quality. Just attaching couple of data, if anyone could throw in some better suggestions, thanks in advance. ![]() ![]() |

| ![]() Larger wheels mean lower side profile which again leads to harsher ride. Larger side wall = cushioning is the ride quality. |

| ![]() Pls help guys! Need to upgrade 5.5 year old stock tyres of Ciaz ZDi+ , run for any 55k kms. Existing size - 195/55 R16 Not looking for more broad tyres, but just want to increase ground clearance. Also, should not face mileage drop and heavy steering. Finally, it should not scrape when 3 adults and boot is full of luggage. How about these - 195/60 R16 OR 205/60 R16 OR 195/65 R16 Not sure ! |

Closest one is 195/60 , for which one tyre dealer said that it would scrape on speedbreakers. 2 more dealers said that 195/60 is OK, but not the other two. 195/60 R16 - 3% OR 205/60 R16 - 5% OR 195/65 R16 - 6% | |

| ![]() I am looking for upgrading tyres of Micra cvt. Currently they are 175/60 R15. I am looking for 175/65 R15 or 185/60 R15. For slight increase in ground clearance. Which tyres are best? 175/65 R15 or 185/60 R15? Please suggest some good tyres for less road noise too. |

| ![]() I posted this in another thread, but it seems this thread is more appropriate, so posting here. Moderators may kindly delete the other post if necessary. Dear fellow BHPians, I had a small sidewall bulge in one of my tyres and I need to replace it. I have alloy wheels and a spare tyre with exact same size but with steel rim. The tyres are 36 months old but have done only 7000 kms. The tyres are 175/60R15 I have few questions: 1. I have not used the spare tire at all, would using it as regular tyre with alloy wheel a good idea? I plan to replace all tyres together after 4-5 years as I understand that you should replace tyres irrespective of kms because of change in rubber compound due to aging. 2. I will use the bulged tyre as spare. I have two roadside assistance subscription. 3. If indeed I have to change the tire, can I change the bulged tyre with one of the 185/60R15, 175/65R15, or 165/60R15? If yes, then which would be a better choice? This from pure financial consideration. There is only one manufacturer (Bridgestone) for my current 175/60R15, so cost is very high (6275/-), while other mentioned tyres are atleast 1500 Rs. cheaper a piece. 4. In longer term, I would like to switch to one of the three suggested tyre sizes because of competitive price and better availability. It would be very helpful if you can provide some insight. |

| ![]() Hi team, I am about to buy the Grand i10 Nios Turbo and I was reading on the Team bhp review (Hyundai Grand i10 Nios 1.0L Turbo Petrol : Official Review) that upgrading the tyre from the standard (175/60 R15) is a need and not want. Quote:
I was wondering if the tyre upgrade prescribed in the review would be good or not. If yes, then which one to go for between 185 and 195? Also, do tyre dealers accept these 'almost' brand new tyres and provide some exchange value? | |
