What kind of wheel alignment schedules do you follow? And what kind of life do you get out of the birdgestone's? I usually go hunting for the cross ply tryes for the Premiers but its becoming a hassle.

We have these tyres since year 2000 and they might have run only 10-15K kms now,as the car is used only 2-3 times a month now.
I am not sure of alignment schedules,as i havent driven the car since some time now,but it sure rides and handles well with those tyres.
You may need to check regarding availability of these also,as AFAIK bridgestone stopped making S248's in this size.

I tried looking for 155/80 R14, but I guess these are not being manufactured anymore.
A friend has recomended 165/80 R14..what will be the impact of putting these wider once on padmini? Also, should I go with tubeless once from JK tyres model Tornedo.

Go hunt for the skinny-looking JK 165/80-R14's that are ripped off the swift right out of the showroom. You get it for 900 bucks...

Whether tubetype or tubeless depends on the rim condition.

I have heard that radials damage the suspenssion on the Padmin. Someone told me that the suspension was not designed to handle radials. Is that valid?
