Nice review. Always eager to read your updates. Please post a review on the new tyres. I am in the 'tyre upgrade situation' in my altroz diesel. I have also zeroed in on 195/60R16 continental UC6. Your experience would be very helpful in buying.

The tyre condition worsened and odo was at 55k already. So I changed the tyres to UC6 195/60R16. It cost 8.2k per piece at Sundar tyres, Madurai. Travelled back to Chennai from Madurai. The difference was visible and I liked it. Thanks for your suggestions. If not, I wouldn't have gone for UC6.

Sorry brother, I was a bit busy and missed this. Glad you like the UC6. It's a nice tyre and the 60 profile does improve the plushness of ride over bad roads.

60,000 km Service

I did the 45000 km service at 444xx km. I had a weightlifting injury in mid November which led me to be in bedrest for 3 weeks. Naturally, Altroz usage had come down totally. The car has run less than 1000 km in last 40 days.

Odo is at 59,300 km. I sent the car for 60,000 km service today.

Engine Oil, Coolant (Tata recommends coolant change at 60,000 km), Brake fluid and oil filter were replaced. Cabin air filter was cleaned. Wheel alignment and balancing was also done. Brake cleaning was done too. Total damage to the wallet was INR 10,176.

While washing the car last time, I noticed the alloy wheel central cap of front RHS wheel had gone missing. Replaced it today during the service.

The car is as good as it was new. No issues to report


I have a good news and a bad news to report.

Bad news is that my safari storme was involved in a minor accident - a Govt bus rear ended it while moving from a signal stop. More details to be given in my Storme ownership thread once the car is back from repairs. No injuries to anyone.

Good news is that I decided to fill the vacant spot left after selling one of my beater cars last year, - the kwid 1.0, with a small but safe car. More so after the storme accident. Dad has been using the Celerio. I decided to retain celerio as pure city beater car and buy a new small car for dad. Booked a Tata Punch in Orange shade. Delivery will be around Christmas.


See you all until next update.

Re: Prassy's 1st Small Tata | 2021 Altroz XZ+ 1.5L Diesel | Ownership Review | EDIT: 2 yrs/58k km up

Hi, I have Altroz XT petrol as a strictly highway cruiser. I often travel with 5 people in car, everyone is little heavier in my family so with 5 people I am concerned that if i upgrade to 195/60 R16, the body panel will touch the tyres under full load. Is it a valid concern or nothing of this sort will happen ?

Hey Prasanna,

195/60 won't be a problem at all. I have loaded the car fully and taken it over some big speed bumps, never had an issue.

The car was delivered on 4th January and has completed 500 km already

Adventure Rhythm variant, which was the most vfm variant, and more than that, it has 15 inchers instead of 16. I specifically wanted 15 inchers for the better ride quality over bad roads.

Congratulations Prassanna,

Lovely colour must say, a good competition to the downtown red on the Altroz.

The roof wrapped in black and a good pair of 15 inch alloys would further improve it's looks, which is already like a harrier junior.

It is great to see someone associated with the tata brand such as yourself. You have seen TAMO evolve from your estate and sumo days to now the punch and the altroz. A humble suggestion that you talk about it when you pen down the ownership report of the punch.

Safe motoring to you and your father

Cheers
Cliff
