Is it legal to use different car tyre size?
I have Honda city 2009 model car and I was told by traffic police that it is an offence to use different car tyre size. I want to know if using 195 55 R16 87V instead of 175 65 R15 is an offence in case of Honda city 2009 model
Using a different tire size than what is specified by the manufacturer can lead to legal issues, especially if traffic authorities deem it unsafe or a violation of regulations. In the case of your Honda City 2009 model, the original tire size recommended is 175/65 R15. Traffic police have the discretion to penalize drivers for modifications that do not comply with safety standards.So, to avoid penalties, it is advisable to revert to the original tire specifications.
It's not legal to use different car tire sizes unless you follow the vehicle manufacturer's recommendations and all applicable laws and regulations. Driving with mismatched tires can be dangerous for you and other drivers.
Sir, you can legally upgrade your car's tyres as long as the new ones adhere to the manufacturer's specifications. When increasing the size of your tyres, it’s important to choose ones with a load index and speed rating that are equal to or greater than those of the original tyres.
