tyre gurus ? your feed back ?
Tyres heating up is a bigger issue. Brakes would also heat up and make them ineffective. Overall it would be dangerous to drive a car with superheated tyres and brakes.

Amazing FE - This fill I got an FE of 20 + KMPL. Quite amazing for driving only in town (Hossur Road, Ring Road) with minimal AC(10% of the time maybe).

Last evening I had a usual encounter with an Auto who came straight in front of my car on my side of the road. I had to brake hard. Auto guy had the cheek to say that I should be driving slowly (I was doing just over 50). Driving Slowly with a Swift D.
