The total diameter of tyre = (Rim Diameter + (Tyre profile*2))

In case of 165/70 R-12

(304.8 + (115.5*2)) = 535.8mm (21.0 inches)

In your case i.e. 155/65 R-13

(330.2 + (100.75*2) = 531.7mm (20.9 inches)

In view of above results, I think you are good to go with your current tyre and rim size just shift to some good brand and enjoy.

Yes...

But I wanted to increase the width of the tyre... I have 2 choices with 165 width:

Tire 1: 165/65R13 544 mm

Tire 2: 165/60R13 528 mm

Stock Tire: 145/60/12 536 mm

In fact I found a really nice website that compares different tyre sizes with your stock tyre size. Don't have link right now but will share it.

I will visit market on saturday

What do you suggest from the above sizes. One is a bit larger (1.4%) and other is a bit smaller (1.6%). What should I go with smaller or larger?

go for 165/65R13 tyre. We r using it in our khyber with no problem at all. it also increases grip and braking.

sami134562 (sami134562) 2011-05-13 04:26:13 +0500 #1247

Thanks for the suggestions.

Any suggestion or comment from others before I go with 165/65R13?

metalhead (مظہر) 2011-05-15 02:27:32 +0500 #1248

I have 165/65 R13 in my khyber. doing fine.
go for it

my car's temperature needle goes to like 70% w/o ac but with ac it remains at middle point. What could b the reason?

cracked (cracked) 2011-05-16 14:06:22 +0500 #1250

^
reason is wen u turn ur ac on,the radiator fan also strt working,so it brings needle down,but wen ac is not running,radiator fan is controlled by thermostat switch,so its the thermostat switch settings to kick in fan on 70% of gauge..however i think it shud kick in on approx 60% first time n then shud keep needle on 50%

Today I was driving my Khyber. It was afternoon, the A/C was on, suddenly a sharp screeching noise came from engine near the fan belt side. I switched off the A/C and that sound vanished. After about a minute or so I switched on the A/C and that screeching noice appeared again.
I opened up the bonnet and found the following part loose. Can anyone tell me that is it the cause of that noise? And where it should be attached?

Xulfiqar (Xulfiqar) 2011-05-24 17:57:43 +0500 #1253

its the belt tensioner - the nut is missing and the belt is loose now

speedster_101 2011-05-24 18:15:50 +0500 #1254

A/C belt?
And is it causing that screeching noise when I switch on A/C?

cracked (cracked) 2011-05-25 02:45:17 +0500 #1255

yup,loose belt is just moving on compressor n not properly holding on...get it fixed,no biggie i guess!

i have renew my Khyber engine, anyone tell me how much i run on petrol.

speedster_101 2011-05-25 12:09:50 +0500 #1257

Today I went to mechanic to show him that loose belt tensioner. He was a normal mechanic, not that deals only with A/Cs. He said that the bolt is broken and it is in compressor. It is a 3,4 hour job and I will charge you 500 Rs for that. He said that I will try that the gas should not escape.
Any suggestions?

smijaz (smijaz) 2011-05-25 14:03:40 +0500 #1258

From the pics the compressor bolt is missing , so it could either got loose and fell somewhere or it got broken with its thread stuck in the compressor. Compressor bolt usually get loose and while it is loose its vulnerable to breaking coz of vibration from the compressor and on & off jerks.

It may hardly be an hour job and the refrigerant need not to be removed.

Labour charges are OK.

If you have some tools with you, you can do it your self if the broken bolt is slightly visible.

Remove the loose belt or it can slip off and drop somewhere before you get it fixed.

1000km. Also change engine oil and oil filter on completion of 1K kms.

speedster_101 2011-05-25 14:25:42 +0500 #1260

Thanks for your suggestions.
No, I can not do it myself and I can't see the broken bolt as well.
I will go to the workshop tomorrow morning.
