Rates seem to be 600Rs on the higher side. I changed my Santro to Accelere for 2200Rs a piece.

OMG before buying it i checked with Apollo tyre company as well and they directed me to a dealer..its ok nothing can be done now

. i am attaching the snaps as well

600/- is bogus.

At the most the rates would have varied by 100/- or so. No way anyone would have got 185/60R13 Acelere for 2200/-. Impossible.

BTW, it's not safe to run those tyres on the OEM rims. You can see ho0w the tyres are squeezed into the narrow rim.

Price depends on tire size and width. So 165-70 will be cheaper than 185-60

Well tyre dealer here quoted me Rs1800 for 155/70 R13 and Rs2000 for 155/65 R13. Any idea why there is a difference of Rs 200 in the price ?

Nikhilb2008 · 11th October 2009, 14:50

Because it's lower profile!

Most times lower profile costs a bit more.

Well gotta say I learn something new everyday

BTW is it safe to run 155/65 R13 on Stock WagonR rims ?

greenhorn · 11th October 2009, 15:17

They should be 5J rims

Tanveer ran that size on his indica ( same rims ) without issues

there is no problem till now i have faced having it on OEM.... But soon will change it to alloys..... Budget issue so didnt go with it

But the size looks really huge to me

nitrous · 11th October 2009, 15:34

For 185s, 5.5J is good. 6J is besht!

155/65 R13 is ok for Wagon R rim because the VXi version comes with 155/65 R13 anyway.

tsk1979 · 11th October 2009, 21:14

I run 185/60R13 on my indica stock rims. This is the max those rims can take. 195 is overstretching it
