Hello All
I'm getting my Swift VDI delivered shortly and when following is what i have decided on.
Upsize - 185/70/R14
Tyre Brand - Yokohama A300/Michelin Energy XM1
Now, can you enlighten me more on the difference between going in for Yoko and Michelin. Following are the prices that im quoted in chennai, Yoko - 2850 Rs/Tyre and Michelin - 3550 Rs/Tyre. Are these prices reasonable and what would you suggest makes a good buy? Since the price difference is almost 600 Rs per tyre im inclined to go for Yoko than Michelins. My priority would be minimum road noise and good ride comfort. Im more a sedate driver. Looking for suggestions/advise from you all.

Also OT - How is the brand "Advanti" for alloys. Im getting a good deal (set of 5 for 16000 Rs), but couldnt find much information on the alloys section on this brand.
