The Mahindra Jeeto tyre size is 145 R12 LT, ply rating 8, fitted on all four wheels whether your mini truck runs on diesel, petrol or CNG. That LT tag and ply rating matter as much as the numbers, because this little carrier spends its life hauling vegetables, gas cylinders, cement bags and parcels.
Fleet owners and single vehicle drivers alike ask for the size at the tyre counter, then get offered a cheaper passenger car tyre that looks similar. This page explains why that swap is risky and how to keep a working Jeeto rolling on sound rubber.

Mahindra Jeeto tyre size by version
| Variant | Front | Rear | Wheel |
|---|---|---|---|
| Jeeto Strong diesel | 145 R12 LT 8PR | 145 R12 LT 8PR | 12 inch |
| Jeeto Strong CNG | 145 R12 LT 8PR | 145 R12 LT 8PR | 12 inch |
| Jeeto Plus petrol | 145 R12 LT 8PR | 145 R12 LT 8PR | 12 inch |
Current listings show one size across the range. Older Jeeto versions sold under letter and number codes such as S6 or L6 belong to the same family, but body length and payload varied, so copy the markings off your existing casing before ordering four. If it says 145 R12 LT with 8PR, buy exactly that.
What 145 R12 LT 8PR tells you
| Marking | Meaning |
|---|---|
| 145 | Tread width in millimetres |
| R | Radial construction |
| 12 | Rim diameter in inches |
| LT | Light truck tyre, built for commercial loads |
| 8PR | Ply rating 8, a strength class for heavy duty use |
No aspect ratio is printed, which on older style metric sizes means a wall standing roughly eight tenths of tread width, near 116 mm. That puts overall height near 116 x 2 + 305 = 537 mm. The LT and 8PR tags are the parts people forget, and they are the parts that keep a loaded deck from squashing the casing.
Why hatchback rubber of matching dimensions fails here
Tyre dealers also stock 145/80 R12 tyres made for small hatchbacks. On paper the dimensions almost match, so some counters suggest them as a cheaper fit. The difference is inside the casing. A passenger tyre is built for four people and a few bags; a light truck tyre is built for a full deck day after day. Fitting passenger rubber to a working Jeeto risks:
- Sidewalls that heat up and crack on long loaded runs.
- Sudden failure when a rear wheel drops into a pothole with a heavy payload.
- Faster wear, wiping out any saving within months.
Our load index explainer helps you compare carrying capacity marked on two tyres before you pay.
Pressure: where to find the correct figure
We could not match the Jeeto's recommended pressures in two reliable records, so this page carries no psi figure. Get it from:
- Technical data pages inside the handbook that came with your Jeeto.
- A label on the body, often near the driver door frame or under the seat.
- A Mahindra commercial vehicle workshop, quoting your chassis number.
Load rated LT casings generally run firmer inflation than hatchback rubber of similar dimensions, and the right figure can differ between front and rear or between empty and loaded running, so do not copy a hatchback chart. Gauge them at dawn, before any cargo goes aboard. The figure moulded on the tyre is its maximum, not the everyday target. Gauge showing bar instead of psi? Our pressure converter handles it.
Loading habits that save Jeeto tyres
- Spread weight evenly; piling everything at the tailgate overloads the rear pair.
- Respect the rated payload. Extra sacks on top flatten the tyres and heat them on highway runs.
- Crawl over humps whenever the deck is full. A loaded tyre hitting a sharp hump at speed can cut its wall on the rim.
- Do not park for days with a full load on a tyre that is low on air.
Rotation, alignment and wear checks
Mini trucks often wear the front tyres on the outer edge from tight city turns and the rears in the centre from heavy loads. Since all four wheels share one size, rotating every few thousand kilometres evens out wear. Wandering steering or front tread with saw edged ribs points to bad geometry; read up on wheel alignment before visiting a workshop. Replace any tyre with cuts, bulges or exposed cords at once, and have a mechanic inspect the wheel after any hard pothole hit.
Other small commercial vehicles
The cargo version of the Omni used a 145 R12 LT tyre too, so some fitters already stock it for that van. Heavier small carriers are covered too, for instance on our Ace write up. For passenger models, hatchbacks, sedans and SUVs fill our car tyre size directory.
Questions owners ask
Jeeto tyre size in one line?
145 R12 LT, 8PR, identical at each corner. That same size is listed for the diesel, petrol and CNG versions.
Can I use a 145/80 R12 car tyre on my Jeeto?
It is not recommended. Those tyres are made for small passenger cars and are not built for commercial loads, even though the dimensions look close.
Does the Jeeto CNG use a different tyre?
CNG Jeetos are listed with identical 145 R12 LT 8PR rubber. The cylinder adds weight, so keeping pressure correct matters even more.
Are Jeeto tyres tube type or tubeless?
Both kinds exist in this size. Check whether your rim and current tyre say tubeless before buying, and ask the dealer to match it.
How much air should I fill in Jeeto tyres?
Follow the handbook or body sticker, reading it cold. Commercial tyres often need more than car tyres, so do not guess.
How often should I rotate Jeeto tyres?
Every few thousand kilometres works well for most city delivery use. Since all four tyres match, rotation is simple and stretches their life.
