The Tata 712 LPT costs about Rs 12 lakh to Rs 16 lakh ex-showroom. On-road price is higher because RTO tax, insurance and registration get added on top, and those change by state. Ask two or three dealers in your city, because discounts differ.

It has 4 tyres in a 4x2 layout. Tyre size is 8.25 R16 - 16PR Radial Low CRR Type.
