Fitment Advice & Size Verification
165/70 R14 is the most widely used 14-inch radial in India, fitting the Hyundai i10, Renault Kwid, Maruti WagonR, Santro Xing and a long list of fleet cars. Its 70% aspect ratio gives a taller sidewall than 165/65 R14, which is why it absorbs the sharp-edged monsoon potholes around GIDC Phase 1 and 2 far better. If your car came with 155/65 R14, moving to 165/70 R14 is an upgrade in width and sidewall, so re-run a 3D alignment after fitting to correct the scrub radius.
