What This Size Means
235 = tread width in millimetres. 65 = aspect ratio, meaning the sidewall height is 65% of the tread width (153 mm). R = radial construction (or bias-ply if dash-indicated). 17 = wheel rim diameter in inches (432 mm).
Editor's Technical Insight
The Mahindra Scorpio-N completely transformed the legendary nameplate's driving dynamics with a sophisticated double-wishbone front suspension, Penta-link rear setup with Watt's linkage, and substantial 255/60 R18 tyres on top Z8 and Z8L trims (with Z2, Z4, and Z6 variants rolling on 245/65 R17). Meanwhile, the enduring Scorpio Classic relies on 235/65 R17 rubber on its rugged ladder chassis. The Scorpio-N's 255/60 R18 tyre setup delivers exceptional high-speed poise on four-lane national highways, eradicating the top-heavy side-to-side body sway that characterized older Scorpios. The factory 18-inch Apollo or MRF rubber offers solid highway manners, but owners tackling frequent bad-road or gravel mountain trails in Himachal or Ladakh often upgrade to Apollo Apterra AT2 or Yokohama Geolandar. Maintain cold tyre pressure diligently at 32 psi: exceeding 35 psi causes the rear Watt's linkage suspension to feel harsh over road cats-eyes and expansion joints. Given the Scorpio-N's substantial 2.1-tonne kerb weight and rear-wheel-drive bias, cross-rotating all five wheels (including the spare) every 10,000 km is critical to ensure even tread wear across all axles.
