Need help for a tubeless tyre - Team-BHP

tsk1979 · 23rd May 2007, 14:00

The requirements are
1. 185/60 R13 Tubeless
2. Extremely resistant to punctures and damage from sharp stones.
3. Cheapest possible

Handling, ride, braking grip etc., is NOT AT ALL important. All that matter is durability and price.
Any idea how much will a set of 4 cost. Can it be managed under 9-10K ?

Yes, this will replace the Potenza GIII. I have to get 185/60R13 because I have an almost new DUCARO as a spare wheel which is 185/60

Dont buy michelins. ( I am saying that only because it is slightly expensive)

Bridgestones are expensive performance tyres. I don't want to pay for a feature I don't want.

Apollo is expensive. How much do MRF's cost in this size.

I am not planning to sell the car, just going to use it very less. (200-300kms a month max). Speeds not exceeding 40-50kmph.

Cheapness is the main criteria, cheaper the better.

bridgestone S322 or MRF ZVTS cheapest possible assured. prices need to ask the tyre dealer.

tsk1979 · 23rd May 2007, 14:48

Size is the problem 185/60R13 is a rare size. I am open to korean makes too.

vid6639 · 23rd May 2007, 14:56

See if you can get the ducaro itself. I know its stopped but you may just get some stocks since the size is rare and not many people will buy that size you may be able to get it.

kpzen · 23rd May 2007, 15:27

Tsk.!
I'm sure Venturas come in 185/60-13 n approx price should be 2.4K per tyre.

Why dont get the stock size itself ? 165/65-13 then u'll have more options in terms of tyres too..

Then I have to discard the spare wheel which is an almost brand new 185/60 DUCARO,
I will check out the Ventura's thanks.

yeah realised after seeing that they were 185/60-13 not 14.

I guess he doesnt want stock tyre size so he can use his spare regularly without altering driving characteristics.

esteem_lover · 23rd May 2007, 15:52

Yeah,the Good Year Ducaro seems to be the cheapest if you can get them app @ 2500 per tyre.

Jaggu · 23rd May 2007, 17:04

price am not sure but after checking around in the market mrf is one of the cheapest, my purchase was in 195 70 14 and it costed 3000 rs with tube, can be fitted as tubeless also
