Yes, Michelins are the best. You will see considerable change in the ride quality and the sound of the rubber.

If you go for an exchange after travelling a few hundred and spending a few days with them, the existing tyres value will go down a lot. For all my vehicles I drive from showroom to Michelin shop and get them changed. Please look into this before going long.

I went to the Honda Service center to get some repair done on my Brio and while waiting had a good look at the New City. The 'V' MT model came with Michelin XM2 as stock while VX and ZX were shodded with Good Year.

Good insight about Honda strategy in India. Please read this to have a bigger picture of what manufacturer thinks.

One thing I must say, the new City 2017, looks a lot better in flesh than in the photographs. The interiors are sumptuous, seating comfort is great, materials are good. I've asked for a TD tmrw! We went to showroom to check out the Amaze VX CVT and City V CVT. The Amaze is also good and has high seating but the rear seat squab is a little short and lacks under thigh support as compared to the City, stupid of me to compare both. I think now the VX CVT makes sense.
