Tyre Upsize for Vista

[AppU]

Yes. Sorry, missed to mention in the previous post.

Actually my tyres are not in good condition. so I'm mostly avoiding long travel. I had a plan to visit B'lore to check alloys, but now I decided to put the alloys in Chennai itself :(

Is it 185/65/R14 or 185/85/14? How's the ride quality and how's the suspension behaving? I have not seen many people doing an upsize on Vista. I changed my tyres around 40K mark and stuck to stock size (175/65/r14) as I was not confident about the suspension holding.

Oops, It is 185/65/R14. Apologies for the Typo

BTW, After upgrading the tyre size from 175/65/R14 to 185/65/R14, Vista behavior is equal to stock size tyres. But, there is a marginal improvement in grip and cornering.

Even I also doesn't like to compromise the Suspension and cushioning effort of my Vista. So after doing so many research, I gone for 185/65/R14.

Now, I'm feeling the same Suspension and cushioning effort in my Vista. Grip is better, slight improvement in Handling and cornering.

Some of my FB friends done some major upsize to their Vista's and they are telling that They didn't faced any issue with Suspension.

That's good to hear. For my 80K tyre change I will go for 185/65/R14. .By then we should have had lot more reviews as well.
