Tyre Suggestion for the Maruti ZEN

Nikhilb2008 · 23rd February 2010, 11:47

Going to 14" and such a low profile for the Zen is something I wouldnt recommend. It is totally pointless unless your Zen is putting out 150 bhp!

will 165/60/12 or 165/65/12 be okay ??

Nikhilb2008 · 23rd February 2010, 18:13

165/60 R12 is ok.

You dont get 165/65 R12.

What brands are available in the size 195/45 r14 ? I have only seen Hankook ventus k102.
I am also looking at 185/60 r13. Are these size available in Michelin or Yokohama ?

You mean here in India? I have seen Yokohama a539's on Zens but not sure if it was the above mentioned sizes. Can someone confirm if these sizes are available in a539's and also where can i find them in Mumbai?

nick17s · 24th February 2010, 10:16

I have seen these tires, there is an importer here in delhi, opposite hyatt hotel..
Dont know where you can get those in mumbai..

"made in japan" was embedded in those tires, i dun know if all yokos have "made in japan" embedded on them..

Nikhilb2008 · 24th February 2010, 23:19

Yoko is not officially importing 195/45 R14. So, if you have seen it, it is from the grey market.

nick17s · 21st March 2010, 21:03

Guys i want to upgrade my tires..
now i am getting 165/70/12 instead of 165/60/12
below is the tire size calculator:

Specification Sidewall Radius Diameter Circumference Revs/Mile Difference
145/80-12 4.6in 10.6in 21.1in 66.4in 954 0.0%
165/70-12 4.5in 10.5in 21.1in 66.3in 956 -0.2%

will it be fine for shockers and ride quality and also will it affect the fe ??

Nikhilb2008 · 21st March 2010, 22:15

165/70 R12 is non existent in the market. Your only option is 165/60 R12 or 155/70 R12.

i went to karol bagh (delhi), yesterday, and this guy at Tyre Zone tells me that it is available in Kumho..

kpzen · 22nd March 2010, 14:13

Yes, its available in Kumho.

IIRC, tbhpian- breezydrive had got them for his Zen.

nick17s · 22nd March 2010, 20:32

oh greatt !! will PM him and ask the performance of the tire..thnx kpzen..

heavy_foot · 15th April 2010, 18:20

Guys, is yokohama a539's available in 165/60/13 ? Please also suggest a dealer who stocks yokohamas in Mumbai.

nick17s · 18th April 2010, 16:27

165/60/ 13 is difficult to search in the market bro, ask any importer of kumho/hankook..
