Hi Pakwheelers
Hope you all are doing fine . Now i am planning to upgrade my alto's tires and wheels . I want to ask you which one are the best tires available in market in terms of grips and comfort ride. I want to go for a little wide tyres.Please tell which rims size will suit ? 12 inches or 13 inches .I want to go for 13 inches .but please if its good or not .
Last but not least,please guide me what is meant by the profile of a tyre .? i havent bought new tires since i bought the car .so dont know anything about tire profile and rims size.

Regards.
Have a nice day

Alloys in 13" will easily fit and suit your Alto.
Though they might make your steering a bit harder than before.
If you are planning to go for 12"s then 165/7012 is good.
If you plan to go for 13"s then 165/65/13 or 175/70/13 will be good.

yaar hardness is not an issue for me because i have installed an eps in my alto

^ Then go for either 165/65/13 or 175/70/13.
Donot go beyond 175 or else you may ruin your suspension.

Thanks for your valuable advice.
any idea on the total cost . and which tire brand to go for ?

can you please what does you mean by 165/60/13
actually i am curious about this profile thingy

[daniyalahmad]

Dunlops are good and easily available in 12" and 13".
Yokos are a much better option but I dont think that you will be getting a huge variety in these rim sizes so Dunlop ECO or Le-mans would be good.
About price I have no idea about Karachi market but just to give you an idea I got Dunlop ECO for 2850/piece in February in 165/70/12 size in Rwp.

In 165/65/13 165 is the tyre width, 65 is the profile (the rubber part) and 13 is the rim size.

thanks alot dear

actually 165/65/13 means
165 is the tyre width in mm
65 is the height of tyre to the width ratio (means the hieght is 65% of the tyre width)
