I took delivery of my XL6 in late August this year, and the very first change that I had wanted to do on my car was to upgrade those tiny 15-inch wheels to new 16-inch alloys. However, Maruti was firm in informing me that my car’s warranty will be void if I upgrade the alloys to 16-inch. Therefore, I changed the tyres from R15 185/65 to R15 195/65, which added 10 mm height to my car. The new tyres are Bridgestone Turanza, which are very quiet.

I had my XL6 alpha Automatic for last four months. Upon maintaining tyre pressure 29 psi I found car suspension is good with 4 or less people ride. But I feel stearing control little slow while turning the vehicle. Advice me how to improve. Can I follow your tyre upgrade to 195?

R185 and 195 I guess have no difference in diameter of tyre but width of the tyre. It shouldn't increase the height of car, afaik

The new tyres cost me ~₹30k. The road grip is much better now, and road noise is also lower.

Was it changed at showroom in exchange? Or you had to throw away old tyres and buy new ones?

185x.65 =120.25 195x.65S = 126.75 = 6.5 mm only you got height. How you saying 10mm increase 🙄
