I plan to upsize the tyre of my Honda Amaze i-DTEC diesel. The company fitted tyre size is 175/65-R15 Bridgestone Ecopia EP150, but there is a lot of road noise that filters into the cabin, and the ride quality is also not that good.
Can I upgrade the size to 185/65-R15 or 195/60-R15? Also, can I go in for tyres from Michelin or Yokohama? Price is not an issue.

Autocar India says: 185/65-R15 section tyres would be a touch too large for the Amaze and might foul with the suspension and wheel arches. You can safely fit the 185/60-R15s instead. Michelins and Goodyears would give you a softer ride whilst the Yokohama Earth 1 is comparatively stiffer.

Hi Autocar, I have a Honda Jazz (infamous for the low ground clearance 165mm) with 175/65 R15. I saw your recommendation above for 185/60 R15 which actually decreases the tyre height by a further crucial 6mm and sidewall height by 3mm. Reading through a bunch of forums, many people seem to be happy with 195/60 R15 upgrade which adds 6mm & 4mm to the above mentioned specs respectively. Is it due to the 10mm protrusions on each side of the rim that you are not willing to recommend and if so why and how important is this wrt vehicle's safety?
