Apollo-Aceler or Goodyear-GT3 (195/60/R15) for Swift-Diesel - Team-BHP

kk28 · 11th July 2007, 20:20

I am planning to usize my Swift-Diesel stock tyres to 15" mags.

Could any one suggest which one would be a better option.

1. Goodyear GT3 (195/60/R15) -Cost Rs 3200/tyre

or

2. Apollo Aceler (195/60/R15)-Cost Rs 3500/tyre

Any personel experience/suggestions are welcome.

I have Goodyear GT3 with my Innova they are noicy and not good tyres, already one tyre has side budlge, so far I used many cars this is first time having bad expereince with tyres. I found goodyears cheap tyres nothing else.

I feel either bridgestone or michillin is right bet for Swift 15inch. many members here upgraded their swift you can find the more information in this site.

Ravi.

The Acceleres are good from what i hear.
Tsk1979 is using it on his indica too.

KK28 Apollo's are good and VFM if you are on a budget. Have used them for about 6k kms and never had any problems.

Currently running my car on Goodyear GSD II's and like ravibhat mentioned they are noisy when in comparo with the Acelere's.

Since you are looking at 15 inchers why dont look at the Yoko's or Michelins to?

Michelin and Yoko are the best available tyres. But the thing is i am on a budget constraint. since we get Appolo and good year tyres for almost half the price i decided to go with one the two.

Dudes any idea which is the best suited 15" alloys for swift diesel which has a offset of 42+ and 6j cuz most of the 15" alloys available including lenso have a 6.5J width.

Suggestions if any are most welcome

Take a look at Michelin Energy XM1's also. I'm using them on my OHC and just love them.

6K? Or 60k?

6k kms wont reveal any defects with the tyres IMO.

Have michelins on my WagonR. Was suggested by team-bhp'ians (mainly our tyre expert kpzen

), and am very much satisfied with it.

have heard that Appollo's are pretty good too (no personal experiences though).
