Honda Amaze tyre size and wheel size by variant

Honda Amaze tyre size table

Look at the sidewall before ordering. Mounted, a 185/60 R15 and a 175/65 R15 can pass for each other at a glance, yet they differ in width and height, so never pair them across one axle.

Honda Amaze wheel size

Plastic covers hide 14 inch steel rims on the V. Moving up, the VX brings 15 inch silver castings, and the ZX adds a machined two colour finish on the same diameter. Every grade bolts its wheels on a 4 x 100 mm pattern. Rim care and upgrade notes live on Honda Amaze alloy wheels.

Decoding 185/60 R15

First number, 185: millimetres across the tread. Next, 60: sidewall height expressed against that width, here about 111 mm. Then R for radial construction and 15 for rim diameter in inches. On the V, 175/65 R14 trades 10 mm of width for a sidewall near 114 mm, riding on a rim one inch smaller. A deeper cushion of rubber softens the thump from rumble strips and broken city patches.

Moving a V from 14 to 15 inch

Plenty of V owners want the look of the VX. Since Honda itself fits 185/60 R15 on 15 inch rims for this model, that upgrade is a known quantity. Heights still change, though:

• 175/65 R14: 355.6 + 227.5 = 583.1 mm
• 185/60 R15: 381 + 222 = 603 mm, roughly 3.4 percent more
• 185/55 R15: 381 + 203.5 = 584.5 mm, within 0.3 percent of the V

On the factory 15 inch size your V's needle will lag real speed slightly, and the body sits a touch higher. Choosing 185/55 R15 holds the original height on a bigger rim, but Honda never fits that size, so have the shop confirm its load rating and arch clearance.

Wider rubber for VX and ZX owners

• 195/55 R15: 381 + 214.5 = 595.5 mm, 1.2 percent below stock
• 195/50 R16: 406.4 + 195 = 601.4 mm, within 0.3 percent

Extra width adds grip, yet a full cabin plus full steering lock can make it graze the plastic arch lining, makes parking effort heavier, and raises replacement cost. Sixteen inch rims are not offered on any Amaze, so these choices are untried by the maker. Confirm the gap personally and record the change with your insurer.

Replacing and rotating

Renew a tyre when the tiny raised blocks hidden in its grooves reach the surface, or earlier if a cut, crack or bulge appears. With a bulge, crawl to the nearest tyre specialist at low speed and let them examine it before going anywhere else. Swapping front and rear tyres every 10,000 km evens out wear. After a hard crater hit, ask for an alignment check, since a knocked out setting chews the outer shoulders of the front pair. Reading the four digit build code is explained under tyre manufacturing date.

Pressure and rival sizes

Air figures for both sizes appear on Honda Amaze tyre pressure. Shopping among compact sedans? The Dzire tyre size page lists 165/80 R14 on its lower grades and 185/65 R15 on its top grades. A wider spread of cars sits under car tyre size, sorted by maker.
