| ![]() Tyre Gurus, need your advice. Would the stock alloys be able to take 205/55/R15 tyres? Would there be speedo error? If yes, how much? I have finalised Conti CPC2 as I drive a lot on bad roads. Are they available in 205/55/R15? Cost? Last edited by Rufus_M : 4th February 2013 at 23:29. |

I have used the A-drives on my Esteem and they're great too incase you wish to go for them. Good grip and really, really quiet on all road surfaces. The C-drives are quiet too but on Bombay's paver block roads they tend to roar a bit. Other than that I have no complains with them in my Punto. I changed them the very next day of delivery. | |

With 185/65 on R14 you lose out on a bit of ground clearance (every mm counts) - for this very reason I opted for 185/70 on R14 and this is in my 2011 pre-jacked up Punto (171 mm ground clearance). Since binaiks's location handle says KL & KA and Bangalore atleast being notorious for huge speed-breakers, I would recommend 185/70 on R14. I went for Bridgestone Turanza ER60.

BHPian ![]() | ![]() I've used 205/60/R15 Yoko decibels on my stock alloys for over 42K kms. No issues whatsoever. Speedo error on the size you're thinking of would be 1.4 % too fast. |

| ![]() My friend wants to change his 165/80 R14 on his Punto. The problem is there is NOT much choice in 165 profile. From some of the posts, I make out that 175/70 R14 is NO MORE used on Punto. The next option is to get 185/70 R14. The tyres will be mounted on stock rims. He is looking more towards comfort tyres with less road noise 1. What is the BEST choice in 165/80 R14 ? 2. What other choices for low road noise tyres in 185/70 R14, other than MRF Z.L.O ? |
