Tyre upgrade for Honda Amaze: which size should you go for?

-
Honda Amaze front quarter.

I plan to upsize the tyre of my Honda Amaze i-DTEC diesel. The company fitted tyre size is 175/65-R15 Bridgestone Ecopia EP150, but there is a lot of road noise that filters into the cabin, and the ride quality is also not that good.

Can I upgrade the size to 185/65-R15 or 195/60-R15? Also, can I go in for tyres from Michelin or Yokohama? Price is not an issue.

Chirag, via email

Autocar India says: 185/65-R15 section tyres would be a touch too large for the Amaze and might foul with the suspension and wheel arches. You can safely fit the 185/60-R15s instead. Michelins and Goodyears would give you a softer ride whilst the Yokohama Earth 1 is comparatively stiffer.

550hp BMW M3 CS is the most powerful M3 yet

BMW has taken the wraps off its most powerful M3 ever, the F80 M3 CS, which is even more powerful than the BMW M3 competition. The BMW M3 CS will be sold in sedan bodystyle only and in limited numbers worldwide.  BMW M3 sedan gets 550hp twin-turbo petrol Does 0-100kph in 3.4 seconds Gets BMW’s xDrive AWD tech with selectable RWD BMW M3 CS: design and interior  The M3 CS is set apart from the M3 Competition visually by a raft of design tweaks, such as an angrier-looking, open front grille designed to match the front end of BMW’s GT4-spec M4 racer. Gaping air intakes round off the new-look nose. These are joined by a host of items that enhance aerodynamics, such as a wide front splitter and a lipped rear spoiler. It gets special V-spoke gold wheels – 19-inch at the front and 20-inch at the rear – shod with track-focused tyres. The M compound brakes come with red calipers, while carbon-ceramic brakes are also available. The interior broadly matches that of the M3 Competition, w

Lamborghini Huracan Sterrato First Look: The Ideal supercar for India

The biggest phenomenon of the car world this century is the inexorable rise of SUVs. You have them in all shapes and sizes, for every occasion and every purpose. Even true-blue sportscar makers like Porsche, Maserati and Lamborghini have embraced this high-riding body type, which is the antithesis of the sleek, low-slung sportscars these storied brands originally built their legacy and reputation on. Ferrari, too, has just launched its first-ever SUV, which, not long ago, was anathema to the famous Italian marque. It shows that even hallowed brands have no sacred cows left and have succumbed to what is the cash cow of the car market. WRC-style LED spot lamps drive home the rally look.  SUVs make money, plain and simple. Consumers are willing to pay a lot for them and, crucially, they have a much wider appeal than sportscars. So, it’s no surprise that both Porsche and Lamborghini owe their fortunes to the SUVs in their range. Porsche has the Cayenne and Macan, while Lamborghini has j
