The market for SUVs has been steadily growing in India. In recent years, compact SUVs have become quite popular among the urban middle class and rural buyers. The sturdy nature of SUVs and higher ground clearance makes them ideal for Indian roads. However, the stance of every car is defined by its tyres, and the same is true for SUVs as well.
When it comes to car tyres, getting the size right matters. Since tyres control your vehicle’s performance at several levels, tweaking their size can lead to unwanted results. Bigger tyres will usually affect fuel mileage and increase cabin noise. On the other hand, smaller tyres can make the suspension unstable and deteriorate handling.
Small cars come in quite handy when you are living in the city and need a four-wheeler that is easy to drive around and park. India also loves small cars for its budget-friendliness and high fuel-efficiency. But did you know? Tyres play an important role in the ride quality and fuel-efficiency of your vehicle. If your car’s performance has dropped after staying parked for a long time during the pandemic or in case you are running threadbare treads, perhaps it’s time to buy new car tyres.
Cars in the compact sedan segment in India, sell like hot cakes due to their affordability and premium appeal. Over the years, the segment has personified comfortable ride quality, good fuel-economy and lower maintenance costs. But if you are just restarting life and work after a year in lockdown mode, your car may need some upkeep, especially on the tyres front, before you head out for regular spins.
