Tyre upsizing for ford fiesta 2005

hi

I am planning to upgrade my ford fiesta 2005 tyres which came with tyre 175/65R 14(Tubeless) and showroom fitted alloys.

1. Which would be the ideal tyre upsizing?
2. Do i need to change my alloys? (I would like to keep the current alloys )
3. Which band would be better i.e.

   potenza g3

   yoko a drive

   xm1+

4. Can you help wiyh the expected price ?

5. And would like to make the drive more exciting?

Please guide me

Any other alternatives are welcome and budget is not a problem.

Thank u

1)195 sections seems right enough

2)no need to change the alloys

3) depends on budget and driving preferences-personally would choose pirellis or the michellins.

thank u for your help Binoy

There are few differences, the 65 profile tyre will give more comfortable ride while the 60 profile tyre would give better handling at the expense of comfort.

Thank u for the adivce

Planning to 185/60 xm1+ on my cay

Hey ..

Congrats on your set of tyres ..

Can you please post some pictures of your car with the tyres. i need to decide on 185/60 or 185/65 ? Planning on going with /65, but have a doubt if the tyres will be tall and spoil the looks ...

please post if possible.

Thanks

Bharadwaj, Hows the performance of the new tires? I hope you have picked up 185/65. Is there any difference in FE? Please post your experience, i am planning to change tyres for my fiesta this weekend.
