I would say they would last at least 45,000 kms on good roads. My Accent has done 35,000 kms and they have not worn out even half !!

Stock Bridgestones ( With Tube )

I agree with vkochar. My stock tyres (165/80/R13, Bridgestones, tubetype) are at 23500kms currently and they look as good as new. They would easily go till 40-45 K kms.

Congrats on your new buy. its a reliable car for me toooo. no problems so far.............

MADMAX111 · 8th May 2008, 19:34

Thanks Guys for your responses.

Mclaren, I know it is tad expensive but I paid extra for the peace of mind due to the car being in good condition.

Spadival, exactly my point, I dont expect any expenditure upto 50 k mark

The GIII Potenzas are tubeless what I got with the car

BTW I got 14 Kmpl in city driving with 100%AC and changes at 1500-1700 RPM and 12.5 on highway with 100% AC even at railway crossings where I had to wait for some time and a mix of city traffic on highways(typical UP traffic), Average RPM 2700-3000. I am happy!!!

You sure about your highway mileage ? Hope that 12.5 wasn't a typo.

Yeah sure about that. But the highway drive included heavy traffic, stopping at railway crossings, stop-go and speeds ranging from 30-120kmph. therefore 12.5 Kmpl. BTW these are standard highway condition in UP. God help this State.

Exactly what I also thought - but as Madmax111 says, the driving conditions explain the figure.

@madmax111, I was really surprised to see the city figure of 14kmpl with a/c, especially because your profile mentions 'Bangy' as location. There is no way a Baleno is giving 14kmpl in Bangy city driving (or even Chennai). But then I saw that your driving was in Delhi, which explains the better FE due to wider roads, better traffic conditions etc.

MADMAX111 · 9th May 2008, 09:40

I agree Supremebaleno. In Bangy you are not driving, just idling. But I would still like to idle in Bangalore(NOT Benagaloorroo) than drive in Delhi.

Recently shifted to Delhi but keep visiting Bangy often. In fact I am in love with this city.

Must change my location on the forum ASAP to avoid further confusion.

BTW how do you put the quote in a box while replying??

In Post#21 of this thread, you tried to quote rjstyles69, and even got the ending TAG right. But you missed the opening TAG, which should have been [quote=rjstyles69]

MADMAX111 · 9th May 2008, 10:41

Thanks, Supremebaleno,

Now if somebody can point me to a 3M car detailing centre in NCR. tried googling and searched on this forum but no joy!!!

vkochar · 9th May 2008, 10:46

That's a very good Mileage you are getting. 12.5 would be a typo I'd think so !!!

Not sure about a 3M detailing place in NCR. I used to take my cars to a place in DLF Galleria in Gurgaon ( Nice chap he was ), he used to do everything for me. Try him. Noida I would not know many places ( others can help you )

ankit.jhamb · 9th May 2008, 11:08
