What This Size Means
155 = tread width in millimetres. 80 = aspect ratio, meaning the sidewall height is 80% of the tread width (124 mm). R = radial construction (or bias-ply if dash-indicated). 13 = wheel rim diameter in inches (330 mm).
Editor's Technical Insight
The WagonR's iconic tall-boy design gives it unmatched headroom and ease of ingress, but also introduces a relatively high center of gravity that makes tyre choice and condition especially crucial. On 1.2L ZXi models fitted with 165/70 R14 tyres, the contact patch provides reasonable directional stability at urban speeds. Base 1.0L variants equipped with narrower 155/80 R13 rubber exhibit noticeable body roll during sharp lane changes at 70-80 km/h. For owners who frequently navigate highways or high-speed flyovers, upgrading to 175/65 R14 provides a welcome 10mm wider footprint that noticeably reduces wind buffeting from passing heavy commercial vehicles. Due to the firm suspension tuning and urban duty cycles over speed tables, WagonR front tyres typically experience inside shoulder wear if toe alignment is not re-set every 10,000 km. Maintaining factory 33 psi ensures optimal fuel economy—a major selling proposition for this model.
