| ![]() Hey people, The guys at Capital Honda, Pondicherry are also saying that changing tyre size from OEM size will lead to voiding of the car's warranty. Do we have anyone here who has bought a City from Capital Honda, anywhere and has got them to honour warranty despite tyre size change? |

| ![]() Hi Everyone Upsized all 5 tyres for my newly minted VX CVT over the weekend to 195/60 R15. Opted for Primacy 3ST. Expensive at 5800 a pop but it helped having Michelins as stock. Cant really tell the difference as the tyres were changed within hours of taking delivery. The dealer told me that 3STs are now much more reliable then the LCs and are any day better than XM2. The price difference between the two Rs. 200. |

Post the upgrades does the tyre pressure need to remain the same as prescribed or it needs to change. A bit confused here. |

BHPian | ![]() I have a query for all who have upgraded to 3st on stock alloys. I felt looking at the pictures the tyre sidewalls were protruding out of the alloy which is just 5.5j. So does this negatively effect handling , also what is the psi that has to be maintained. |

Nikhil can comment here but we have lot of owners who have upgraded the tyres on stock alloys and there does not seem to be any issue. vsrivatsa is pretty happy with the way his car is handling with the 195/60R15 XM2 on stock alloys. |

BHPian | ![]() Thanks for the input neel. I just felt the 3st balloons out of the rim more than xm2. If there are no issues in handling 3st are any day better. |

I am also looking to get 16" rims on the City. Someone mentioned "It might also cause problems with the ABS sensors. Better to stick with stock rim size and upgrade the tyres only." Can the experts throw more light on this? Is it safe to upgrade the rims to 16"? What would be the changes in ride quality because of this change? |

However, I think 195/60 will be a better upsize for the City. I believe that the breaker scrapping problem with the previous gen city is now addressed. Last edited by saket77 : 16th July 2014 at 13:15. | |
