What This Size Means
185 = tread width in millimetres. 70 = aspect ratio, meaning the sidewall height is 70% of the tread width (130 mm). R = radial construction (or bias-ply if dash-indicated). 14 = wheel rim diameter in inches (356 mm).
Editor's Technical Insight
The third-generation Hyundai i20 sits at the premium end of the hatchback market, featuring a low-slung, European-inspired posture paired with 195/55 R16 tyres on diamond-cut alloys for its Sportz and Asta trims. The low 55% profile ratio looks athletic and sharpens lateral steering precision, but its 107mm sidewall makes the i20 somewhat vulnerable to rim damage when encountering sharp, crater-like monsoon potholes at highway speeds. Magna variants roll on 185/65 R15 rubber with 120mm of cushioning sidewall, delivering a markedly softer, more forgiving secondary ride over urban rumble strips. Owners who drive enthusiastically on open highways or possess the punchy 1.0L Turbo N Line version often switch to Yokohama BlueEarth-GT or Continental UC6, which eliminate tyre squeal under spirited cornering. Maintain factory 33 psi diligently; under-inflating 195/55 R16 tyres increases the likelihood of sidewall pinching against the metal wheel rim when driving across sharp bridge joints.
