The code on your tyre's sidewall (e.g. 195/65 R15) tells you the width in mm, the aspect ratio, and the rim diameter in inches. Always match this exactly, or ask a vendor to confirm an equivalent size.
MRF and CEAT are long-standing Indian manufacturers with wide service networks; Apollo Tyres is another major domestic brand. Bridgestone, Goodyear and Michelin are global brands often positioned for premium or performance use. The right pick depends on your vehicle, driving conditions and budget more than brand alone.
Most manufacturers recommend replacing tyres once tread wears down to the built-in wear-indicator bars, or sooner if you spot cracks, bulges, or uneven wear. Typical lifespan varies widely — usually somewhere in the 40,000–60,000 km range — depending on usage, road conditions and maintenance.
Wheel alignment sets your wheels to the manufacturer's specified angles for even wear and predictable handling; balancing evens out weight distribution to prevent vibration. Both are commonly recommended whenever you fit new tyres.
