I am no expert on tyres, so a look through the tyre thread would help. I went for 185/65 R14 michelin XM2. I am very happy with the Michelins. Much better grip, more comfortable ride! Some experts on the forum suggested later that 185/60 R14 would have been better since 185/65 would mean overall ~2% increase in the circumference. From my limited knowledge, the other popular choices seem to be Yokohama A series (some suggest that the softer compound of the Yokos mean more comfortable ride but they also seem to be more prone to punctures. Bridgestone (Turanza maybe? not sure...) seem to be among the popular choice.

Hi!
Thanks for your reply. Since Sunday is the only free day available to me, on Sunday I changed my rims and tyres, to Alloys and Michelin 185/65R14. I read in some Wheels and Tyres sites that the difference can be 3% max.
185/60R14 - would be -0.94%
185/65R14 - would be +2.23%
195/60R14 - would be +1.11%
The rate quoted for 195 was INR 6200, so I chose 185/65 and it costed me INR4900 each. I did not think about 185/60 at all because I preferred a slight increase in the circumference and now from your replies I understand that 185/60 would have been the best choice!

Top-Gear a nice regular round up of your cool blue Amaze there. Just wanted to check if the FE figures have changed and mention the same from the last update above or remained same.

Thanks girishglg!

The FE figures have remained more or less same just as my daily commute has. I've been on couple of long drives. Those blazing drives down the Mumbai Pune expressway have yielded FE in the range of 15 - 16 kmpl. Have a nice day!
