It's a bit too much for the Liva. I suggest you stick to 185/60-15. 195/60-15 might scrape the wheel arches on full load or while turning the steering lock to lock. Yokohama and Michelin do make very good tyres and they seem to be very good for the Indian market as well. They seem to offer the best of both worlds: Good comfort and grip along with durability and long life. Yokohama Earth 1 should be around 5k a tyre and the Michelin XM2 around 5600 or 5700 per tyre. | |

| ![]() I am going to get my 2nd baby Ecosport 1.5L Diesel Titanium on 17th May. It's coming with factory fitted MRF ZV2K (205/60 R16). I got mixed reactions from my fellow car enthusiasts regarding ZV2Ks. Even during test drive of Ecosport I felt lack of confidence while braking and ride comfort was not that great. That car was worn ZV2Ks. Now my question: Is it worth changing the stock MRF ZV2K tyres with 1) Yokohama Earth 1 or BluEarth AE50 (Showing in the Yokohama India website) or 2) Bridgestone Potenza GIII or 3) Michelin Energy XM2 ? ![]() Last edited by moralfibre : 13th May 2018 at 07:39.

Never used MRF as yet, but based on what I understand from fellow owners, I would recommend an upgrade to any of the 3 based on your use or budget. I would strongly recommend Earth1 over GY or MRF | |

| ![]() I just changed the JK stock tyres on my Ritz Zxi to Yoko Earth 1 185/70/R14. I wanted to check on the air pressure on the tyres. Should i go as per what Maruti recommends or does it change wrt the tyre manufacturer? I couldnt find anything on the tyre bill or the document accompanying it. |

| ![]() Thanks, yes i have seen that. I was just wondering if it changes from manufacturer to manufacturer since my stock tyres were JK and this was Yokohama. But i guess the recommended tyre pressure remains the same. |

BHPian ![]() | ![]() To be prepared to takeon the Kerala Monsoon ! My Ecosport just got upgraded to Yokohama Earth1 after an year long - study, negotiation, window shopping. However they were at least 1K cheaper than the rest I had in the shopping list. Got 4 of them now, have to go back to get my 5th tomorrow. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |

| ![]() Replaced the 165/70/R14 section stock JK tyres on my Ritz with Yoko Earth 1 185/70/R14. The ride quality has noticeably improved with lesser body roll. The JKs were 6 year old and had lost their softness after 43K on Odo. The Yokos were purchased from Amazon costed ₹ 3550 apiece after 10% cashback. Quite VFM I felt. |

| ![]() I switched to Yoko in early Jan and have completed 7k Kms. So far the experience has been good in terms of noise and grip with no punctures. Its quite good in the rains as well. I was expecting a slightly softer ride on the Ecosport, but it hasn't been the case. Looking for a good online deal to replace the spare. |

Good to know ! On the ride, I felt Yoko to be much softer and stable than the GY's I had. The GY-Assurance was terrible in all. | |

| ![]() After much deliberation I am getting these for my 51400 KMs run i20. Considering the car has completed 7 years I believe I pushed my stock Apollos a wee bit too much. They still have a fair amount of tread left but they have started to look really bad: chunks of rubber have come out, cracks have started to show, multiple punctures. Getting these from Indo Radial Club Kolkata, quoted INR 4200/tyre. Last edited by Pancham : 31st May 2018 at 15:10. |
