New Tires for the ikon 1.6

kaynmantis · 18th July 2008, 17:42

Is there any difference between Ikon Flair, SXI, ZXI, etc. as far as selecting tyres are concern. I am asking this because when I go to http://www.auraalloywheels.com/, they have different specification for Flair and SXI. For that matter are the wheel wells different in different Ikon models?

The SXI model mentioned on the Aura site is actually for Ikon 1.6 which came with 14'' wheel. So its different from the Flair model wheel which is 13''

True, Flair comes with 13" tyres and the 1.6 with 14's. Thats why the dif.

Tubeless tires anyday. Nitrogen is recommended in case you dont want to check the air pressure every now and then. Tire temperature will be relatively cooler too.

Is this so? As i used to think quite opposite to it because my 2003 1.6 is shod with 13".

Same here. My Ikon 1.6 comes in 13". But I'm thinking it can take 14" without problem. I thought newer 1.3 flair comes in 14". If thats the case, I don't see why 1.6 cannot take the bigger wheel. However this is just a common sense guess.
