Tyres For My Innova - Team-BHP

akshay1234 · 8th July 2008, 10:48

my innova has done around 35k on its current set of g3s in the stock size. though the tyre wallah says they will run 10k more the front set looks much more worn out than the rear and i would like to change them. these tyres provide pretty good grip but the road noise is way too high and the ride is too stiff.

so these are the ones im looking at -

Michelin mxv8 - Rs6200. the dealer says michelin sidewalls are too soft for indian conditions and get cut easily and even showed me a michelin tyre of a indigo with a cut sidewall.

Falken Ze912 - Rs5500. the dealer says these are very good and dont have much road noise and the ride will be good. for some reason he is really pushing for these. maybe he gets more commision on them.

Yoko C-Drives - Rs 5600. dealer says these have been around for a while and are good tyres.

i will also find out prices of yoko AVS db decibel V550 and A drive R1 and update here.

what are your views?

i want a tyre with a good amount of grip, low noise and good ride.

Yokohama C-Drive is a very good tyre. Gives excellent performance, comfort and grip. I've fitted them onto a fleet of Tavera's and Innova's here and the purchase dept is happy as hell. I would recommend them to you anyday.

akki bhai ! I think Falken's are good but Yokos are better for performance as i read in many threads here on this forum and elsewhere too. About michelin's mxv8, i cannot comment although i run XM1 for my alto ride and i find it excellent. Regarding Falken's i did read about good reviews in forums abroad but according to some folks on the forum here,they tend to fade away lot quicker than normal. For the price range,performance and comfort i think Yokos deserve this

. However, you can get other members review for Michelin MXV8 as i am total noob on that. Maybe KP bhai might be of help.

Bridgestone potenza g111, is a performance tyre, hence the firm ride & road noise.
Out of you choice michelin mxv8 seem to be best suited , as yokohama is known for their performance tyres & falken are not among the top.
What michelin mxv8 for rs6200? I checked for my corolla , they were 4800/-
