There are tens of brands available in market for 12 inch tires. Please recommend which tire brand is good and what width should I buy? Currently stock General tires are installed.
Also recommend some authrized dealer/shop in Lahore

155/70/R12

1) Yokohama (Japan, around 28k)
2) Dunlop (japan, 28k)
3) bridgestone (indonesia, 24k)
4) Plenty of chines within 20k

I went for Bridgestone sneakers(indonesian) and am very much satisfied with them. soft as compared to old chinese tyres, less noisy, good road grip.

Can 155/70/R12 tires be used with stock rims? Stock rims have General tires of 145/70/R12.

Yes stock rims can be used with 155/70/R12.

Do you recommend buying used tires? If yes what should I see in tires while buying these tires?

I would second 165. The road grip is outclass and the ride quality on bumps is improved due to bigger tires. @tintin1 please do contribute on my Mehran thread as your knowledge of cars and being a previous Mehran owner can help us. Share some pictures of your Mehran if possible and the story behind it. I am keen.

Aren't 165 heavy for Mehran's baby suspension?
I think it must affect mileage?

muhammad.irtiza (muhammad.irtiza) 2021-02-15 00:44:51 +0500 #14

I'm getting 15.2 km/l with about 50% AC usage. Mostly city. Since these tires are new, only time will tell the effect on suspension. I drove my friend's 2018 mehran with 145s and I wouldn't want to go to 145 by any chance.

hotcoder 2021-02-15 00:46:43 +0500 #15

Which brand are you using? And for how much you bought them?

muhammad.irtiza (muhammad.irtiza) 2021-02-15 00:48:07 +0500 #16

Brand is Aplus.
Got brand new tires with the car 2 weeks ago.

hotcoder 2021-02-15 00:49:36 +0500 #17

Are those tires installed with stock steel rims?

muhammad.irtiza (muhammad.irtiza) 2021-02-15 00:50:32 +0500 #18

Yes.
