XETA Tyre & Alloys

wolfinstein · 5th March 2009, 23:42

Guys,

Recommend the best tubeless I can get for the XETA.

My amazers are still going good, But I intend replacing them at 40000 KM which will be any time soon.

I don't want a Odo error and I hate tyres jutting out of the car frame.

Current set is 165/65 R 13 Amazer.

What is the best upsize- No Loss, better grip and handling.

I'm happy with my G3 on the lancer, but I understand that they are not imported anymore.

Dealer suggested Turanza ER300.

Good deal, then I might replace all 5, otherwise budget might restrict me to 4.

Also going for New set of Alloy Rims- Best size.

If I go in for R14 Set will it affect in anyway. Please note-I have a 65 KG CNG Tank in the Boot

Apollo does not have the design I want

if you get 14 inchers

1. you'll get odo error unless you swap your speedo setup with the indigo/indica turbo's
2. heavier steering
3. better handling and stability at higher speeds
4. drop in acceleration and torque ( will affect you severely since petrols have lesser bottom end torque, CNG makes it even worse, and if your engine is a 1.2, dont even think about it

)

Allright R13 it is..!

Tyre recommendations!

Fortunately, My XETA is a 1.4 and top of the line in terms of accelaration and handling.

No issues whatsoever on CNG Performance.
