Have to change tyres of my NHC ( type2 dolphin model honda city ).I wanted to upsize this time from stock 175/65/R14.
My requirements from new tyres are as follows-
1 better high speed manners and stability
2 better braking
3 ride is not very important
4 FE shouldn't reduce as its already somewhat low
5 should fill wheel wells better improving the looks
But I have many confusions-
1 what size ?
I think in plus 0 185/65/R14 and 195/60/R14 are correct. I would have gone for 195's but i am slightly concerned about mileage.So what are your suggestions
2 secondly tyre dealer suggests 185/70/R14.
Now this tyre is taller so will give better GC. But according to tyre upsize calculators this is wrong upsize. And i will have to make sure this size doesnt touch wheel wells etc if i go for them.
I need that extra GC so should i opt for these
3 Or Can i buy a new set of 15 inch rims and wheel caps and upsize to 195/55/R15
This will be just for looks as the tyres will not appear puny. What will be the downsides of this besides extra cost initially;
4 which tyre brand should i choose.
I have the option of BS S290/turanzas at 4200 and apollo acceleres/mrf zlo at 3600 each tyre
which should i go in for. Or should I ask the dealer to arrange some other tyres.
Lots of Qs i know,as i said i am very confused.
Please help me quickly as I have to get this done max by tomorrow
