BMW M Series Tyres

Tyre upsizing in any vehicle is not recommended by the makers as it affects the mileage and performance. If you don’t mind missing on these aspects, you can go for the upsize. The current standard tyres are 185/65 R15, which can be upsized with the 205/55 R16. The choices in this R16 pattern include CEAT SecuraDrive, JK UX Royale and Goodyear Assurance Triple max.

Dry grip comes into picture when the tread part, which is made of rubber compound hits the surface and develops friction, called grip/traction. Moreover, under wet conditions, only surface grip is not enough, scattering of water beneath the tyre is also must. Alongside, removal of water from tread part is essential too, to maintain constant grip. Hence there are tread grooves that channel water and continue gripping the surface even in wet. In India we usually drive under mixed road conditions and diverse weather instances, hence the tyres purposefully provide both worlds in one tyre i.e. the tyres will also provide good grip under dry and better water dispersal under wet situations.

The Hyundai Xcent comes with fitted with 165/65 R14 tyre size. The best fit tyre pattern choices in this size category include CEAT Milaze X3, JK Ultima Sport and Apollo Amazer 4G Life.
