Guys, if my car engine is 1.3cc (manual) while my tyre is 13-inch. If I plan to increase my tyre size to 14 or 15 inch:

1. Does car engine capacity correspond to the ideal size of tyre? (For example, car with engine 1.3cc best suit for 13- and 14-inch tyre. 15-inch tyre is good but not the ideal level.)
2. What is ideal size of tyre for a car with 1.3cc engine? 14-inch or 15-inch?
3. What is the ideal selection for particular car tyre size? For example, 185/60R14 or 185/55R15.

1.3cc is Tamiya category.
1.3L should use 13"

Why you want big wheels? Nobody is gonna be impressed by your B segment junk even if it had 18" wheels.

Stick with 13 for better acceleration and comfort.

Why don't you try 17 inch tyre for 1.3l engine. Fuck around and find out

1.3cc is very very small btw, I don't think you mean that

Depends on ori tyre profile

Have a play, it will tell u roughly what's the effect of sizing up in diameter/width: https://www.wheel-size.com/calc/

Don't go all crazy on width though, long ago i did 175/R13 -> 195/R15 and the tramlining effect were pretty obvious

bigger tyre means heavier weight to your car and increase in braking distance. your fuel efficiency will drop, your engine have to work harder.

overall rim+ tire diameter is the more critical part. if you put 17" rim but tire only 1/2" thick not that much of an effect except on your wallet

tread width as well. wider tire more resistance and grip

Like other mentions, bigger wheels effect your fuel consumption as the wheels is heavier.

Plus the speedometer also less accurate depending on your tyre profile.

yes you can change to 14/15"
but the bigger your tyre is, the worse the fuel consumption becomes
