The Victoris tyre size never changes across the lineup: 215/60 R17, from the base LXi to the top ZXi Plus (O), whether the SUV runs on petrol, CNG or the strong hybrid. Only the wheel under the tyre changes: plain pressed steel for LXi and VXi buyers, cast alloy once you reach ZXi.
That single size makes life easy at the tyre shop, because any 215/60 R17 with the right load and speed rating fits any Victoris. The thing to know before a long trip is that this midsize SUV does not carry a spare wheel as standard. Read on for the variant table, what each part of the size means, upsizes that keep the speedometer honest, and how to deal with a puncture.

Maruti Victoris tyre size by variant
| Variant | Front | Rear | Wheel |
|---|---|---|---|
| LXi, VXi (petrol and CNG) | 215/60 R17 | 215/60 R17 | 17 inch steel |
| ZXi, ZXi (O) | 215/60 R17 | 215/60 R17 | 17 inch alloy, black painted |
| ZXi Plus, ZXi Plus (O) | 215/60 R17 | 215/60 R17 | 17 inch machined alloy |
Hybrid and AllGrip buyers get that identical 215/60 R17. The CNG model does too, despite a gas tank sitting behind the back seats. With matching rubber everywhere, swapping front and rear pairs is easy; do it roughly every 10,000 km, because on front drive versions the leading tyres both steer and pull.
Victoris wheel size explained
Every Victoris has a 17 inch rim. On LXi and VXi it is pressed steel; from ZXi upward it is cast alloy, painted black on ZXi and machined on ZXi Plus. Because the rim diameter is identical, a lower trim owner can fit the alloys from a higher trim and keep the same tyres. Order the matching alloy nuts as well; the seat of a steel wheel nut is often shaped differently.
Whether the steel wheels wear a full cover depends on the trim and dealer fitment, so check your car. A cover only changes looks, not the tyre size.
Reading 215/60 R17 on the sidewall
- 215: section width in millimetres.
- 60: aspect ratio. The sidewall is 60 percent of 215, about 129 mm tall.
- R: radial construction, standard on all modern cars.
- 17: rim diameter in inches, about 432 mm.
After the size, every Victoris tyre lists its carrying capacity code and a speed rating letter. These depend on which firm supplied your car's tyres, so we have left them out. Note the pair on your Victoris and match or beat both on any new tyre. A heavier hybrid or AllGrip car loaded with five adults and luggage needs every bit of that load rating.
Upsizes that keep the diameter close
Hold the change in height under 3 percent, otherwise the dashboard speed and the braking computers get fed wrong wheel speeds.
| Size | Sum in mm | Versus stock |
|---|---|---|
| 215/60 R17 (stock) | 432 + 2 x 129 = 690 | base |
| 225/55 R17 | 432 + 2 x 124 = 680 | about 1.5 percent smaller |
| 225/60 R17 | 432 + 2 x 135 = 702 | about 1.7 percent larger |
| 215/55 R18 | 457 + 2 x 118 = 693 | about 0.5 percent larger |
No Victoris trim wears these from the factory, so treat each as untested. Extra width may scrape plastic inside the arch at full steering, or when a laden car drops off a speed breaker. Have the shop test both before you commit. Moving to 18 inch rims also means a shorter sidewall, which is less forgiving on cratered roads and costs more per tyre. Do inform the insurance company afterwards.
No spare wheel: what to do with a puncture
The Victoris ships with tubeless tyres, a tyre pressure monitor and a puncture repair kit in place of a spare. The kit has sealant and a small compressor that plugs into the car's power socket. It handles nail and screw punctures in the tread. It cannot fix a cut sidewall or a tyre torn off the rim. After using sealant, drive gently to a tyre shop and tell them, because the sealant must be cleaned out before a proper repair.
A full size spare wheel is sold as a genuine accessory. If you often drive at night on highways or through remote ghat roads, it is worth buying. Both routes are weighed up in our spare tyre and tubeless tyre puncture kit articles.
When to replace Victoris tyres
- Grooves worn down to their raised indicator bars, or below 2 mm. For wet season safety on a heavy SUV, 3 mm is a wiser limit.
- A swelling on the flank following a crater strike. Keep speeds low and let a tyre specialist judge it.
- Uneven wear on one shoulder, which points to alignment. Book a wheel alignment before fitting new tyres.
- Any tyre past its sixth birthday per the date stamp, however much tread remains.

Questions owners ask
What is the Victoris tyre size?
Every Victoris uses 215/60 R17 tyres, front and rear, on all variants and powertrains.
What is the Victoris wheel size?
It is 17 inch on every variant. LXi and VXi get steel wheels, ZXi and higher get alloys.
Do CNG or hybrid Victoris models get other tyres?
No. Gas, hybrid and AllGrip models share the petrol car's 215/60 R17.
Does the Victoris have a spare wheel?
Not as standard. It comes with a puncture repair kit and tyre pressure monitoring. A spare wheel can be bought as a genuine accessory.
Where do I find the Victoris pressure figure?
Open the driver door; the pillar sticker states cold values. Ignore the big number moulded into the tyre, which is its upper limit.
Should a Victoris owner move to 18 inch rims?
No Victoris comes with 18 inch wheels from the factory. A 215/55 R18 tyre stays close to stock height, but check clearance, ride on bad roads and your insurance before changing.
