i suggest michelin's... they offer softer and quieter ride and the grip is phenomenal.... they come with a 3 year warranty.
I got the michelin XM1 in 175/70/13 (std size) for my esteem way back in Nov'06. Cost me 11k for 4 tires with balancing/alignment etc in chennai...
Now i wish i had gone for an upsize.....
P.S. There is also an attractive offer now.. with 4 sets of mich's u get a reebok sports bag free... worth some 2k or more i guess.
