@allhyundai-could you suggest a good tyre upsize for santro as my santro is at 90500 kms and tires are worn out

 

[allhyundaicars]

really , santro's tyres are so small even with full air pressure all the tyre seems like they are punctured.

well i'll say to upsize only by 10 or 20. i think stock is 155/70R13. increase it to 165.

and what about the profile(sidewall height) can it be kept the same?

 

[allhyundaicars]

yeah i think you should let it be the same. do you find any problem with the car in terms of handling ? not high speed but normal. if you increase the tyre width and decrease the sidewall, handling might improve but it won't be that much comfortable as before.

check this , it will help you compare the tyre size
Tire size calculator

i'll suggest you to change from 155/70/13 to 165/65/13 or maybe 175/60/13

so got the i10's windshield replaced again and fixed the side mirror as well. red color was not available in the market.

 

[silverjet]

So,165/65 R16 seems to be the best.
Will go for this.

 

[allhyundaicars]

mate R13 , not R16

 

[silverjet]

Opps its due to verna
Btw which brand to go for.my stock bridgestones lasted 65000kms.and replaced goodyears for 25000kms.so thinking of bridgestone.but there are many types of tyres in bridgestone itself.

 

[allhyundaicars]

get the stock tyre brand. why take a chance. bridgestone is good. verna has bridgestone zvtv , don't remember santro's.

my friend have got his santro and i10's tyres changed to 175/70/R13, you would feel the huge difference in handling,cornering overall grip on your car.Bridgestone,YokoA, available sizes even michillen have this size.

 

[silverjet]

175/70 is way too much.wont the body touch tyres? And there will be great stress on suspension?
