Mahindra XUV700 With 24-Inch Alloys
The video has been uploaded on YouTube with a walk-around tour of the SUV. The silver-coloured XUV700 is ideally suited for this silver 5-spoke alloy pattern. All the 4 brake callipers are painted red which adds to the overall sporty nature of the SUV. The advantage of having larger alloys is the option of installing low-profile wider tyres for enhanced handling characteristics. Wider tyres provide more grip and traction and one could drive a bit more enthusiastically around the corners. The downside of having such large alloys is that the ride quality of the vehicle is affected negatively. Also, the thinner sidewall allows the bumps and undulations on the roads to enter the cabin. Hence, one has to sacrifice the ride quality for attractive looks.
