The Eeco tyre size for the passenger van is 155/65 R13, whether yours is a 5 Seater Standard, a 5 Seater AC, a 6 Seater or a CNG model. Cargo and ambulance Eecos are listed on a tougher 155 R13 LT tyre built for heavier loads.
Every Eeco rolls on 13 inch steel wheels, so a rim swap is rarely the question. What matters is picking the right tyre type, passenger or light truck, for how hard your van works.

|---|---|---|---|
| 5 Seater Standard | 155/65 R13 | 155/65 R13 | 13 inch steel |

Petrol or CNG makes no difference: the maruti eeco tyre size stays put for passenger vans. A few spec sheets list 155 R13 LT against every version, but most sources tie the LT tyre to the commercial models only. If your van was bought second hand from a fleet, read the sidewall: an ex cargo Eeco may still carry LT rubber.
155/65 R13 versus 155 R13 LT
Reading 155/65 R13 off an Eeco sidewall: 155 gives the width of the tread in millimetres, 65 sets the sidewall near 101 mm, R signals a radial casing, and 13 names the wheel size in inches. The cargo tyre, 155 R13 LT, has no aspect number printed, which by convention means a much taller sidewall. LT stands for light truck: stiffer plies, a higher load rating and a firmer ride. Do not fit passenger tyres on a cargo Eeco that runs loaded every day, and expect a harsher ride if you put LT tyres on a family van.
Eeco wheel size and what else will go on
The eeco wheel size is 13 inch steel on every version, with simple centre caps; full covers are an accessory. Staying on 13 inch is the sensible choice, because a 14 inch tyre on this van would lift its overall height too far.
| Size | Overall diameter | Change vs 155/65 R13 |
|---|---|---|
| 155/65 R13 | 330.2 + 2 x 100.75 = 531.7 mm | Baseline |
| 145/70 R13 | 330.2 + 2 x 101.5 = 533.2 mm | +0.3 percent, not factory fitted |
| 165/65 R13 | 330.2 + 2 x 107.25 = 544.7 mm | +2.4 percent, not factory fitted |
| 155/65 R14 | 355.6 + 2 x 100.75 = 557.1 mm | +4.8 percent, too tall |
Any non factory size must carry a load index at least equal to what your van wears now, which matters on a vehicle that often carries seven people or a full load of goods. A wider tyre can also brush the inner arch at full lock. Have the fitter check before you commit, and try further combinations in the tyre size calculator.
The full size Eeco spare
Maruti Suzuki confirms a steel rim for the Eeco spare, and it is full size, mounted under the rear of the van. That means a puncture on a highway does not leave you limping on a space saver. The catch is that a spare slung underneath collects mud and gets forgotten. Gauge it monthly and look it over for cracks whenever the van goes in for service.
How hard work wears Eeco tyres
Eecos earn their keep as school vans, shop delivery vans and taxis, so tyres often wear faster than on a private car. Rear tyres carry the passengers and the luggage, and front tyres scrub when the van is turned tightly in narrow lanes. Rotate all four roughly every 5,000 km on a hard worked van, and get alignment checked if the Eeco steering wheel no longer sits straight on a level road. Our wheel alignment guide explains why.
Replace an Eeco tyre when
- The tread is down to the wear bars inside the grooves, or close to 2 mm, earlier if you drive through flooded roads in the rains.
- The sidewall shows a bulge, cut or crack. Stop carrying passengers on that tyre until a tyre shop has checked it.
- The tyre is old and cracked even with tread left. Work out its age using our manufacturing date guide.
- One shoulder has worn far more than the other, which also points to an alignment fault.
More on the Eeco
The rear tyres of this van need more air than the fronts, so see the Eeco tyre pressure page before filling. Wheel covers are covered on Eeco wheel cap. Every other model we cover appears in the car tyre size collection.
Questions owners ask
Which size suits a Maruti Suzuki Eeco?
The maruti suzuki eeco tyre size is 155/65 R13 for passenger versions. Cargo and ambulance vans are listed with 155 R13 LT.
Does the Eeco CNG use another tyre size?
No. The CNG passenger van uses the same 155/65 R13 as the petrol van. Keep rear pressure correct, because the gas cylinder loads the tail.
Will 14 inch wheels suit an Eeco?
Maruti Suzuki offers no such fitment. A 14 inch tyre of similar section makes the wheel almost 5 percent taller, which upsets the speedometer and gearing, so stay on 13 inch.
Should a school van Eeco use LT tyres?
If the van is loaded heavily every day, ask a tyre shop about a tyre with a higher load index. Never fit one with a lower load index than the original.
Are Eeco tyres tubeless?
Most listings show tubeless radials on the passenger versions. Check the sidewall for the word tubeless before getting a puncture fixed.
Does the Eeco spare match the running tyres?
Yes, it is a full size steel wheel. On an ex cargo van, check whether it carries the LT tyre or the passenger size.
