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.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I upsize my i20 tyres from 185/65 R15 to 195/55 R16?
Yes — 195/55 R16 is the standard factory fitment on higher i20 trims like Sportz and Asta. You will need 16-inch alloy or steel wheels, but no suspension modifications or speedometer adjustments are required.
Why does the i20 ride feel slightly firm over potholes with 16-inch wheels?
The 195/55 R16 tyre has a relatively low 107mm sidewall height. This stiffer sidewall delivers precise steering turn-in but offers less vertical cushioning than the 120mm sidewalls found on 15-inch variants.
What tyre pressure should I maintain for my Hyundai i20?
Hyundai recommends 33 psi cold pressure for both front and rear tyres under normal load. For long highway journeys with a full passenger load and luggage, you can increase pressure to 35 psi to prevent sidewall flex.
Do Hyundai i20 N Line models use the same tyre size?
Yes, both standard i20 Asta and i20 N Line models share the identical 195/55 R16 tyre dimensions, though N Line variants often feature distinct alloy wheel styling and a firmer, sport-tuned suspension damper setup.
