Is the 13-inch wheel size of Changan Karvaan limiting performance and comfort on rough Pakistani roads?

Small wheels can reduce ground clearance and cause bumpy rides. Should users switch to larger rims for better handling and comfort?

✅ Yes, 13” wheels are a limitation.

Small rims = lower ground clearance

Thinner tire profile = harsh ride and more jolts

Braking and cornering stability compromised at full load

➡️ Some users install 14” rims with slightly higher-profile tires e.g., 175/70 R14 for:

Better comfort

More clearance

Improved load handling

⚠️ However, larger rims must match load rating and not affect suspension geometry o r speedometer accuracy.
