There are numerous benefits with recommended tyre upsizing. With tyre upsizing alternatives, the Maruti Alto K10’s ground clearance will go up by a decent notch resulting in a more confident and upright stance of the hatchback. Furthermore, a car with good ground clearance is always the best shield to conquer abrupt speed breakers, uneven and potholed conditions of the roads, especially during wet and rainy conditions.
Usually, tyre upsizing results in low ground clearance of the cars due to increase in the width and hence offers better handling. However, here, as you opt for upsizing, there is no change in the width of the tyres rather the change reflects in the ground clearance aspect.
Moreover, the difference in the ground clearance should be maximum up to 3 percent or less than 3 percent against its original ground clearance. If the increase or decrease in the ground clearance is of more than 3 percent then it may affect the functioning of the odometer and might touch the fender or the car body while driving.Find alto car tyre models and get best alto tyre for your car.
Note – The above-mentioned tyre upsizing options may affect odometer reading marginally. These upsizes are suggested as per our upsizing calculation.

Hello anand,
I would recommend a 175/60 R13 for this specific trip. It’ll give you that extra confidence on curves when you’re maneuvering at good speeds. Braking performance will also be a tad better due to increased contact surface of tire with ground.
I myself own an Alto K10 2016 model. And I have done this trip 3 times now. Once with stock tires and twice with the 175/60. While 165/65 would also not be a bad option as it is having a bit higher profile which will be helpful regarding the weight absorption.
But 175/60 ‘s are the ones I’d go with any day if I’m up for such trip.
Don’t worry about roads up there. They’re Quite fine as I told you, I have done it once with stocks as well. Try planning from the Shimla side and not from Manali.

क्या अल्टो K10 2024 VXI + per R14 इंच का रिम और टायर लगया जा सक्ता है! Kya ???
Yes, you can upgrade to 165/70 R14 on your Wagon R VXI 2015, and it should not cause rubbing issues under normal conditions.
Recommendations:
✔ Test-fit one wheel first to confirm clearance.
✔ Avoid heavy loads if you frequently drive on bad roads (to prevent occasional rubbing).
✔ Check tire pressure (slightly higher pressure may help avoid sidewall flex).
