What is the ideal tyre size for Suzuki Mehran to maintain fuel efficiency and ride comfort?

I recently bought a used Suzuki Mehran 2016 VX, and it has 13-inch alloy rims with wide tyres. While the car looks good, I’ve noticed a in fuel average and steering has become a bit stiff. What is the recommended tyre size for Mehran that balances fuel economy, comfort, and handling? Does switching back to stock size really make a noticeable difference?

The recommended tyre size for Suzuki Mehran is 145/70 R12. This size ensures optimal fuel efficiency, proper ground clearance, and accurate speedometer readings. When you upgrade to 13-inch rims o r install wider tyres like 165/70 R13, it:

Increases rolling resistance, which reduces fuel average

Adds weight, making acceleration sluggish

Makes steering heavier, especially in tight turns

Can mess up suspension geometry over time

If youre looking for a balance between looks and performance, you can try 155/70 R12, but anything bigger than that like 165/70 R13 isn’t recommended unless youve done suspension modifications. Sticking to stock size improves ride comfort, steering ease, and mileage.
