Creta Tyre Size

The tyre size follows each trim's wheel, so it steps up twice along the ladder: at the S(O), which moves from 16-inch steel wheels to 17-inch alloys, and at the King, which moves to 18-inch alloys. The S(O) Knight and King Knight take the 18-inch size whatever their base trim. The King keeps its 215/55 R18 tyres with any of its three engines, the 1.5 MPi, 1.5 CRDi or 1.5 Turbo GDi (Creta engine figures).

The 215/60 R17 tyre on a 6.5J x 17 rim comes on the S(O) (black alloys), SX (diamond-cut alloys) and SX Premium (diamond-cut alloys). The cheapest Creta on 17-inch alloys is the S(O) 1.5 MPi Petrol 6-speed MT, at ₹14,20,700 ex-showroom as on 1 November 2026; the trim below it, the EX(O), keeps 16-inch steel wheels.

33 psi (230 kPa) in all four tyres and the spare with up to three people on board, and 35 psi (240 kPa) when the car is fully loaded. These are cold pressures, set before a drive. In the cold months 3 psi (20 kPa) may be added; a tyre loses about 1 psi for every 7 °C drop in temperature, and the pressure shifts by about 2.4 psi for every kilometre of climb or descent, so recheck after a long drive into the hills.

Every Creta has tyre pressure monitoring, one of the safety items on all trims (Creta safety rating). The current pressure of each tyre shows in the Driving Assist mode of the instrument cluster after a few minutes of driving; at a standstill with no reading yet, the cluster shows "Drive to display". The display can read a little differently from a pressure gauge, and its unit (psi, kPa or bar) is set under User Settings > Units > Tyre Pressure Unit. The low tyre pressure warning light means one or more tyres is well under-inflated: stop and inflate as soon as you can. If the light flashes for about a minute and then stays on, the monitoring system itself has a fault.

Alloy wheels start at the S(O): 17-inch black alloys on the S(O), 17-inch diamond-cut alloys on the SX and SX Premium, 18-inch diamond-cut alloys on the King and 18-inch matte black alloys on the King Lounge, S(O) Knight and King Knight. The E, EX and EX(O) have steel wheels: steel wheels with covers and dual-tone styled steel wheels. The cheapest Creta on 18-inch alloys is the S(O) Knight 1.5 MPi Petrol 6-speed MT, at ₹14,39,200 ex-showroom.

Every Creta carries a full-size steel spare: a 205/65 R16 on the E, EX, EX(O), S(O), SX and SX Premium and a 215/60 R17 on the King, S(O) Knight and King Knight. On the S(O), SX, SX Premium, King, S(O) Knight and King Knight the spare is a size smaller than the wheels on the car. The spare of the King Lounge is not stated. It takes the same pressure as the running tyres, and the wheel nuts are tightened to 11-13 kgf·m (107-127 N·m). The N Line and the Creta EV carry a 215/60 R17 steel spare.

Every Creta has front wipers; the rear wiper and washer starts at the S(O), and rain-sensing wipers come only on the King, King Lounge and King Knight. When a blade wears out, replace it with the blade type specified for the Creta.
