Need Advice On Below Tyre Brands

[foji]

Hi Fellow members,

I have Vitz 2007 and looking to change tyres as current tyres have completely worn out since I am short on budget I have two options below:
Either buy WINDA Tyres or Triangle tyre. Anyone had any experience with these brands? Pls guide me.

Second Question:

Current tyre size is 185/70/14 and I want to go for 175/70/14 size. Is it safe for suspension if I go from 185 to 175? Any side effects? Actually, the original size is 165/70/14 and having higher size is messing up fuel economy. Therefore, I want to go for 175/70/14. Is it OK?
Pls advise need to make a decision NOW.

Thanks in advance

If you are using OEM alloy or steel wheels then 165/70 R15 is best size if you have aftermarket chinese alloys then 175/70 R14 is better or 185/65 R14.

185/70 R14 is very bad for vitz

Which brand from above two should be preferred?

Brother for Vitz, I think the OEM steel rim size is 14", and 165/70/R14 size tyres come as stock.

165/70 R15 can not be fitted on a 14" rim.

Brother why don't you consider made in Pakistan General tyres, instead of going for these 02, non-famous brands (at least I never heard about these brands names, am hearing for the very first time here).

Is it safe for suspension if I go from 185 to 175?

Absolutely safe for suspension. The stock size is 165/70/R14, the closer a tyre is to these specs, the good it will be for the suspension. The bigger / larger a tyre is, and away from the stock size, the more burden it will put on the suspension)

Any side effects?

Fuel efficiency will become slightly better, tyre will be more near to the stock size, however, you might feel decrease in road grip (although will not matter much) and drop in ground clearance.

the original size is 165/70/14 and having higher size is messing up fuel economy

Rightly said and stick near to the stock size!

I did some working and worked out following tyre by General Pakistan:

XP 2000 II with 175/70 R14 size (this size is closest to the stock size)

Benefits of General tyres: Freshly made, with proper warranty. No fear that tyres might be smuggled, or otherwise, etc. Reasonably priced. Fit for Pakistan road conditions. Not prone to punctures, or other damages, etc.

Disadvantages: Can be hard, noisy, uncomfortable and stiff, however, are value for money.

If comfortable with General tyres, you can look for this tyre too.
