Hi,
>and if i dont wanna change my rim size, then which specification should i go
> for? 175/65 r 14?? or 165/70 r 14?
I am not one who deviates from the OEM specs in case of wheel tyre combinations. I suffer too because of that.
Recently, I did drive an Indigo GLX with 185/65R14 tyres and it was definitely a better ride. But it had its suspension work done just before I used it. The same wheels on my Marina (switched for trial run) did not make much of a difference in ride.
But the sidewall definitely will be taller and should make a difference.
Hi,
Two months, 2502kms - the journey has been quite smooth so far. Running it a little more instead of it s friend, my Marina, to see the mileage it will give under different drivers and under different driving conditions.
The last tank full gave 15.15kpl over 182kms, 62kms by my driver and the rest by me. The runs were mainly on out of town roads.
AC on 100% and auto, I am happy with the mileage.
The only grouse is in most cars that I have used, by this mileage, I am fairly sure about what my tank will take to fill in relation to the guage reading. But the City guage has foxed me. The 10th anniversary guage has 11 small marking between E and half and another 11 markings between half and F. The tank took 12.01 litres to the brim when the needle was between 4th and fifth marking from F after 182kms.
