Greetings Guys,

I plan to change the tyres on my Polo 1.2 GT TSI, was able to have an experience with Continentals UC6 on a Tiago and was very impressed with the tyre quality and how it rides. I was also considering Yokohama earth-1 S-drives and looking out for Michelin.

My Stock tyres were MRF ZVTV, which is a great tyre that has a level of ride quality but you might feel braking could lack plus superior handling but it fails to give you a better fuel economy tyre noise is there too so I was thinking of trying a different company. I recently upgraded to Bridgestone in my Alto k10 and was satisfied with the performance. I have also experienced Goodyear as the stock Alto came with Goodyear assurance.

I have a query should I upsize my tyre?
Are tyre warranties and claims a scam? cause I have come across various guys having problems claiming their warranty upon torn / leakage/ puncture/ sidewall rips.

Any suggestions would be appreciated!

Hello All,

I am facing a very peculiar problem, I have filled Air ( N2) from nearby bunk and within 5 mins I started to see air leak from the 3 out of 4 tyres. I am not sure what is the problem, I tried refilling one of the tyre from my portable inflators and again same issue. I am confident there is no puncture ( Visible to naked eyes), but wondering what could be the problem. I have faced similar problem some 5 months back in one of tyres and that time local mechanic told me sometimes he is seeing this pattern when air is filled from bunks and he just refilled Air without any fix and it was working fine. Kindly note this time I have new set of tyres and filled air from different bunk, but still wondering what could be the problem?

I was present during the entire air-filling process, so I don’t suspect any foul play.

Has anyone else experienced something like this? Could it be an issue with the bunk or something else entirely? Any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Note to mods: I have posted this query in Innova Crysta thread as well, but thought this is not specific to Crysta, I am posting in this thread . Do delete if not appropriate.

At 58000 KMs, I have changed my stock Apollo Alnac 4GS tyres with Yokohama Earth1, it comes with 5 years of warranty. Thanks PaddleShifter!

One of my relatives is due for a tyre change for his Range Rover and would request for suggestions about which one would be a better choice given his criteria

- High Speed stability
- Cornering
- Comfort (Softer compound, not overly concerned bout the longevity)
- Road noise

Out of the brands that I have so far used on my cars, I suggested going in for the Yokohama for the sheer grip these tyres provide along with a great feedback.

Which other tyre can I recommend?

I changed tyres (Yokohama Bluearth AE50 195/60 R15) of my Honda City in Aug'2019. It has been 5 years and car has been driven only 19000 on those tyres.

No problems except they are not as silent as they used to be on highways.

When should I change tyres?

I believe anyone looking to change tyres should always consider good quality Continentals. Over the past years, I feel they provide extremely good with tyre noise, good grip, patterns feel premium and have not faced any warranty issue. Yoko i faced issue multiple times when I owned Polo 1.6. They were only good for speed/grip.

When should I change tyres?

I feel that you should replace all four tyres at least every 4-5 years, even if they have done only limited kilometres.

My personal thumb rule is 4 years or 40K kilometres, whichever comes earlier. Any tyre damage, based on tread depth or sidewall cracking or bulges, will hasten the process. We've generally bought only Yokohama Earth 1s / BluEarth AE51s / Geolandars across all the cars in the family, I'm ok with a bit more road noise for the grip they offer.

I'm saying this because tyres can age even if they're unused.
