Suggestions on tyres for my getz?

Akshay1234 · 26th May 2008, 09:15

hey guys, the time has come for me to get rid of the crappy goodyears on my getz. right now they are the stock tyres which size is 175/70 r13. since this car is not going to be kept for more than a year or so investing in new rims etc doesnt make sense.

id like to get slightly wider tyres in 185/70 r13 or 185/65 r13.

what i want -

the best performance tyre available in those sizes and also please provide me with the approx cost.

thanks alot.

I suggest don't change tyres since you will sell it in 1 year time, If you really want to change tyres then think about 14 inch tyres should give you best grip or I think 185/65 R13 seems better upgrade in 13 inch.

Regards,

Ravi.

175/70-13 Michelin XM1+ or Yokohama A drive would be the best option in 13".
185/65-13 will only have limited tyre options.

but how would the grip be in those? better than g3s?

Akshay1234 · 26th May 2008, 16:01

ok guys got some quotes -

3250 for g3s made in japan
2550 for falken fk07u

also another question wrt the innova -

5850 for falken ze512 and 300 less for ze912.
6200 for mxv8s

both in 225/60 r15.

which ones should i get?

ramie2400 · 26th May 2008, 16:03

I would suggest you to upgrade your getz tyre to 195/50R15 you will feel your ride very grippy and and comfortable and even the cornering will also improve,under no circumstances it will foul with the wheel arc's.consider it

Edit:Yokohama S-Drives,you'll love it.

Ramie.
Please read the requirements mentioned by Akshay. He's not planning to keep this car for more than a year.
Spending 30k for wheels now won't be a good idea.

I would consider spending 16k-30k worth tyres even if i wanted to use the car for myself for another 1year

fullfilling all my dreams,and for another car it might be new dreams for sure.
