@ Jango

Congrats on new set of wheels!

Tyres: What's upgrade size you opted for? Is it 175/70 R13 or 175/60 R13? It's not clear from your posts & pictures.

Alloys: Is it 13x5J or something else?

OOps my mistake its Rays

. Wellwest i could have paid a little bit extra as there are not many alloys stores in kottayam, so who ever sells would probably sell it with a higher margin as they don't face any competition.

Kottayam

Do you know any one called Ajesh Davis Karottu?? Hes in dubai now. His mom is in germany....

Let's know your experience after good amount of driving (500-1000 Kms). Need feedback on following points.

Ride & handling on normal & rough roads
Grip at corners
Do tyre touch at full turns?
Speedo & Odo re-calibration (if done) /mismatch (if not done)

Jesal,For a car with 155/80/R13 stock size, 175/65/R14 would be the appropriate 14" size.
