    Upsizing the tyres on a new Honda City

    I have recently purchased a 2021 Honda City petrol AT. The ride doesn’t feel as comfortable, especially over bad roads and potholes. I also own a Hyundai i20, which seems to handle rough patches better. Is it advisable to update the City’s tyres to something bigger, as I understand that most competitors in this range have a bigger set. If yes, please suggest what size and brand.

    You can upgrade the tyres from its original size 185/55-R16s to the 195/55-R16s. The increased width will give you better handling and the increase in the overall diameter will give better comfort.
