2. How much does the bridgestone potenza GIII cost? Did you trade in your stock tyres and what was the deal?
3. Can this broader tyre [bridgestone potenza GIII] be fitted on stock rim?
Thanks & Regards!

1) @ Nithi i ran the stock tyre for some 2-3 Km only before i did the upgrade hence can't really comment on the OEM sets .I i am personally very happy with the new sets of tyres. I never faced any problems with handling and the drive is really smooth, i still have't faced any issues with the tyres hitting the side wall even while taking turns with 5 adults sitting in the car so i assume i will never have this issue.
2) The actual price for the Potenza III quoted by the dealer was Apprx Rs 2,900. The dealer offered me 1.5K for the OEM tyre buy back, plus he gave me an additional discount of Rs 100 per tyre ( potenza ) which i purchase from him so in short i paid Rs 1300 per tyre for the potenza.
3)Yes the Potenza tyres can be fitted on the stock rim.

The OEM CD Player is definitely Kenwood, although speakers might not be Kenwood make. |
Thanks rishia how do you rate the speakers and the CD player ? Are you planning to keep them or get them replaced ?
