glad we could help.

Have driven a Swift with XMs. Yokos prices are great! Should have checked them ! Can anyone comment on those.

Update

Checked the tire pressure today and was kinda

to find that there was about 40 psi or air in each tire, went down to 32psi and the ride is a lot more cushioned, Im going to try 34 next time and try and get the perfect tyre pressure.

PS Forgot to mention that I also got a messenger bag from Michelin, Its made by Reebok and has a Michelin logo on it. Pretty cool.

Viper has them on his Santro, He got them for 2200 a piece, but thats because he knows Saifee. He told me to use his reference at Saifee but I had already changed my tyres by the time I got his pm.

Hey

Sorry about the extremely late reply. I get a little over 11 kmpl in Mumbai traffic with the AC on all the time which Im not really to upset about. I'm sure that figure would go up signicantly if I didn't spend so much time in bumper to bumper traffic.

As for tips to increase your mileage tbhp has a thread on it in the advice section.

Cheers
