my pleasure!
typically the Aura F11665 R 16 Alloys 5 Spoke like Ive got, cost 27155/- at the dealers place.
However, for the peace of mind you get, because of the reputed company and one year guarantee, is worth that 4 grand extra that you pay.
In ref to the buy back of tyres- when you go to change your BRAND NEW OEM Tyres you will never get the market price.
If you are lucky you will probably get between Rs 500 and Rs 1500 for each tyre as per my personal experience in the past when I enquired. This is why I never change the OEM tyres or substitute the same - I wait for the tyre life to end and then upgrade to whichever ones are suitable.
Have fun
cheers

After looking at your Scorp I think the tyres that comes along with the vehicle is good enough and wider since as you said the alloys would be wider anyway by an inch.
Btw friends I visited couple of Tyre/wheel shops today (in chennai). The Aura alloys 16" comes around 24k with rest of the Korean/Taiwanese incl League/HR etc between 19 - 32 k for a set of 5. The tyres are the most expensive Michelin/Yokohama with one costing 8k plus - 255/65/R16 (but I forgot to inquire abt buy back the new ones that come along with the vehicle).
Anyway thanks again all of you for your suggestion, I will keep you posted on the progress. |
