Hi,

Off late, I was wondering what will be best upsize for my wagon r k10 2014 but without affecting mileage.


2 sizes in mind till now. 155/70/r14 vs 165/65/r14

So which will be more "heavier" in comparison among these 2 sizes?

And

Which one out of these 2 sizes will impact the mileage more.

Please shred some light here to help all wagon r k10 owners make a better choice by your expertise.

Thanks

To add, currently running on OEM 155/65/r14

Both have a circumference difference of more than 2% compared with the OEM size which is not usually recommended.

So which will be more "heavier" in comparison among these 2 sizes?

Heavier depends on the brand and model of the tyres.
Both the sizes will affect your mileage but 155/70 will have a very marginal decrease as compared to 165/65 because 165 size has more contact patch with the road. But 165 will definitely have more grip on road than 155.
