175/60 R14 is the wrong size. You should get either 175/65 or 195/60. or even 185/60 is acceptable.

Hi.... can you pls tell me, what the wrong size in that. Its it is a wrong size company wouln't had produced this size tyres.

Harshad, manufacturers make many sizes for many cars. Just because they make it doesnt mean that you can fit it on your car without issues.

check here and find out for yourself what the problem is.

EDIT: I thought you had an indica vista.

For an indica turbo , you need 165/65R14.

175/60 is acceptable, but the problem is , you lose out on ride quality without gaining much grip.

If you wanted better grip  you could have gotten 175/65 without compromising on ride quality or 185/60 if you dont mind sacrificing ride quality.

As it is, 175/60 is okay, but you could have spent your money better

I had 1st taken 175/65 only, but my car's real bumper had a problem. Some days back, an Innova had dashed me from back, due to which my rear bumper had pushed inside,and repairing it was a bit expensive for me at that time. When I installed the new 175/65 tires, the bumper was scraching the tires. So, I opted for 175/60/14. The grip is also not bad.The steering has become more lighter than before. I could test it in heavy rainfall on the very first day.

But otherwise, technically, is the size OK...... leave aside a ride quality, etc.

Avoid quoting the directly preceding posts, and also use proper formating(avoid the '....')-MODS

Bridgestone, Michelin are better options. Extra care is required whilw mounting tubeless tyres, any minor damage at bead area at time of mounting can cause air leakage.

the apollo should do quite fine, but check the prices of other company tyres too
