How much does it cost to balance your tyres...and do you guys even bother with it?

I need a price check so I can gage a local fellow who does dynamic balances via machine...and has a reputation for gouging.

Hi DD,

The Chennai Rates for balancing are Rs80-100 per tyre (For JEEP Tyres)

Steering Alignment is Rs250-400.

Regards,

Arka

Mumbai - 80 rs a tyre. Weights extra.

They gave up trying to balance one of mine but did the others.

They do alignment but the data is the machine is for a Major or Armada no matter what jeep it is.

Gurgaon prices for balancing are 50 bucks per tyre inclusive of weights. I just got mine (re)balanced a couple of days back.
Alignment using the machine is for 150 bucks. Some places charge 200 though.

Found a REALLY GOOD Tyre Size Comparison Calculator to compare regular sizes like 245/70/16 etc with sizes like 31x10.5 R15. Really useful. Gives you all the useful information to compare up to 5 tyres with each other.

1010 tyres, is a very well known site for the same, and I have used this extensively. But, thanks for logging in the link here, since it is bound to help others.
Now the problem comes when you need to source some of the exotic tyre sizes in India, after all your hard research, and find that the Import restrictions are in your way.

Hi Guys,

I need your advice and suggestion, i have booked a Thar and i'm planning to change the stock tires from bridgestone duller to ATS.

> which ATS tires would be good for stock size (235/70/r16)?
> If i go in for an upgrade to size 255/65/r16, then which one?

I have heard a lot about the yoko's ATS any suggestions and reliable contacts to sources these would be of great help.

Thx in advance,
Raghu

Look for Onyx -they come pretty close to these (15 inch rims though)

Those tires have yellow paint on the tread !!

Hi,

I'm looking for 16x8 , 5/139.7 bolt pattern, negative offset rims out of Mumbai - can anyone please share pointers to a good shop holding this ?

I've got BFG A/T KO tubeless mounted on Army issue steelies

I've looked around but most shops carry 15x8 size (seems to be a much more popular one)

Thanks !

Getting that PCD in 16" is indeed difficult. One of the very few designs i 've seen in 16" is this one, from Randeep's jeep.

Thanks

Check the tire shops at Lamington road, last I checked they were carrying these aplenty

Gentlemen I need your help. I am looking at upgrading my Ford Endeavour tyres to Maxxis Bighorn MT tyres.

1) should I get 31x10.5x15 or 32x11.5x15? What width rims is ideal for both sizes? 8j, 9j or 10j?

What are the issues i am likely to experience with both sizes?

Would the larger tyre be too stressful on the auto transmission? I heard it is better not to upsize by much for an auto transmission. Why is this the case?

How will turning radius get affected and what can I do to maintain turning radius? will negative offset rims help?

What would it be like as a daily driver if I upsize to the 32 inch tyre?

Would really appreciate an answer to as many of these questions as you have time for!

I'm getting rims made to order from Bangalore so I will get what is perfect. Just cannot seem to decide on which tyre to get because I am in the dark with respect to owning a vehicle with MT tyres.

Endy333 you can go for maxxis bighorn 275/70 r15 or any 32"M/T. There are no issues faced on the highway , braking etc. You need 10J alloys , Tires might scrape the bumper, you need to trim it a little.

This terracan has 2 " ironman lift and the above mentioned tires. We did good speeds with no issues, chikmagalur ghats , no problem .
