Agreed they are stiffer than the Energy's & not as compliant. About them lasting I think we'll know within a year or so!!

Kyon Bhaiya, normal aadmi ko tyre badalnaa allowed nahi hai kya?????

@ LBM - Yes sir that is lined up next!

@ Maggie - No I didn't for a couple of reasons. One being that they are not really easily available here & two because I've never been very impressed with Falken's. They've improved a lot over the years but I still prefer Michelin's or some of the other established companies. But it's purely a personal preference & opinion.

Thanks GTO they indeed rock!! Yes, previously I was running 185/65 R14's (Wrong upsize I know, but it was done because I became a bit paranoid due to the repeated tyre failures in my GSD2 185/60's. So decided to play safe by switching to 185/65)

195's feel great, the grip is stupendous! Will post a detailed review very soon.

She's currently at 139k+ kms! And it's the first suspension change, we had done a re-torquing of the suspension at 90k when the car had a paintjob done but had not replaced any components then apart from the rubber boots etc. Will post a full list of parts & cost etc. and as many pictures as I can manage.

@ Payam - Thanks buddy!

Yup, still on the stock clutch! Might have to replace it this time around but not 100% sure as there is still no slipping or judder. Let's see how it goes!

[gr8guzzler]

Congrats Ishan...the new tires look good. Now get the suspension done asap.

Cheers!!!

When did this happen? AFAIK he has always been running on stock VTEC alloys only.

[Deeps]

Damn, I could have sworn i've seen that car running on different alloys. But KP you are probably right. Just saw his profile pics to confirm.

[moralfibre]

Great to see this upgrade Ishan. Congrats on the tyre choice you've had me hooked on to Michelins so much that my family members think I am getting some commission from Mich by recommending those tyres!

Seems like the VTEC guys are up on a storm, each one doing his car up right Viper, Ajmat and GTO? Whats with Shan2nu and Wolf with their VTEC's?

[ankitahuja]

Hey looking good there buddy!

I got my XM1's too on Friday, super stuff (a bit over my budget though).

I wasn't able to call you due to work, will catch up to give you my feel-good review.

Let me know when you plan to go for the suspension work, im arranging for the moolah for my suspension work too.

Thanks again!!

[Ford Rocam]

Hows Dhunno running with the preceda's ?

[EVO6]

Tyrewala naya tyre laya!!!
Michelins is a good choice but why is it that the availibility is such an issue..
Extra money for OZ ? Ishaan you should have asked Dr. Mallya. He would have given you some frequent flyer bonus..
Cheersss

[Mugen_Power]

Congrates Ishanbhai for new tyres.. Nice Choice..

Are you getting Konis ?

[normally_crazy]

Ishaan,

Good job with the tyres there. but why change the tyres before the suspension job ?

Because he used his Michelins for 53k kms n made them super slicks...
