What This Size Means
165 = tread width in millimetres. 70 = aspect ratio, meaning the sidewall height is 70% of the tread width (116 mm). R = radial construction (or bias-ply if dash-indicated). 14 = wheel rim diameter in inches (356 mm).
Editor's Technical Insight
The second-generation Maruti Suzuki Celerio holds the title of India's most fuel-efficient petrol car, and a significant contributor to that 26+ km/l ARAI figure is Maruti's aggressive tyre and pressure tuning. Uniquely in this segment, the factory door sticker specifies a remarkably high cold inflation pressure of 36 psi across all four tyres. Running 36 psi reduces the tyre's rolling resistance footprint dramatically, but it also creates a noticeably jittery ride over concrete expansion joints and cobblestone surfaces. The stock 165/70 R14 size on VXi and ZXi variants provides adequate grip for urban commuting. Top-tier ZXi+ models upgrade to stylish dark-alloy 175/60 R15 wheels, which look noticeably sharper and improve highway steering feedback at the expense of a firmer secondary ride. Owners seeking plusher urban comfort often drop cold pressures to 33 psi, which softens the suspension kickback with only a negligible 0.5 km/l impact on real-world fuel economy.
