A jump from Rim 13 to Rim 15 sounds odd. In your case, speedo error is 4.8% and experts say that this error should not exceed 3%

Have you driven your car loaded with 2 or 3 persons at the rear seat? I fear the sidewalls will touch the chasis on bumpy roads.

By the way, Michelin XM1+ has no size as 185/60 R15. I've checked the Michelin India website.

BTW stock size rims are 14 inch steel in zxi and 1.6 s comes with 15 inch alloys, I don't think there should be any issue if someone opts for 15 inches for normal Fiesta.

Personally, I would have preferred 185/65 R14 instead of 60...just that Batra tyres had these ones and suggested me same.

In the very first post, you've mentioned stock tires as 175/70 R13.

I started with Accent and ended up with Ford Fiesta 1.6
