M800,

stock =145/70r13

possible upsize==155/65r12,165/60r12

alto

stock =145/80 r12

upsizes

145/70r13,155/65r13 with 5j rim

for zen

OE tire=145/80r12 for mpfi(4j rim) ,and
145/70r13 (4j rim)for carb zens/carbon and steel

possible upsizes without any mods to the suspensions

155/65r13 with 5j rim
165/60r13 with 5j rim

anything wider will touch the body.any wider rim will also cause even the stock tires to touch or foul.

wagon r

stock==145/70r13 ,155/65r13(vxi)

upsize =165/60r13

not sure though

Xmachine,
Good upsize..
Used to have 215/50 R15 on my lancer ...
But u can feel every little stone and bump on the road...
Upgrade to better suspensions if u use those sizes ...

195/55r14,185/60r14(same od)
also have seen a 195/50r15 (perfect od as OE tires) in a friend's Viva.superb looks ,handling but slightly bad ride.

185/60r14 should be the best of both worlds

Rover · 31st May 2005, 17:35

Thanks, Satya.
Next question, which tyre?

speedsatya · 20th June 2005, 12:17

for baleno

OE tire=165/80r13

right upsize

185/70r13
195/70r13

195/60r14
185/65r14(best upsize)
185/60r15
195/55r15(almost same OD as OE tires)

Thanks.But these are perfect i feel.The ride quality and handling is good.
A few of my friends have 215/45/17 on their Lancers and IMO,they are really uncomfortable to drive on.
