| ![]() Dear FireBug , Since you have installed wider 195mm width tyres against the OEM size of 175mm width tyres, are you experiencing heavy steering than with the earlier 175mm width tyres? |

I assume these will fit on the stock Steel rims without any issues right? Also, I got a quote of which is 800 more per tyre in Mumbai. Have the prices gone up, or do i need to shop around more. Also, please suggest if there are any other models to consider. My priority is best grip and comfort. Running is low so wear is not a concern. Don't want to repeat Michelin as mine was a very negative experience (Tyres started cracking after 3 years only ) | |

| ![]() I have a Honda City 4G and plan to upgrade the stock tyres (175 65 R15) with something better. Noise and Mileage are my primary concerns and my first preference is the Michelin Primacy 4ST due to its low noise. What size should I go for ? |

In my experience you should go for the stock size. That is optimal in most ways, cost, fuel efficiency and stability. The Primacy 4ST should have better road grip than the stock ones too. |

| ![]() I contacted a dealer here in Chennai and he has the Primacy 4STs but they are 195/60R15, he mentioned they don't come in 175s also if he were to get them for me, they would be old stock from 2019. I can live with voiding my suspension warranty for better tyres but I'm not sure if unused tyres degrade with age. Is it safe to get these old ones? |

| ![]() Good evening fellow members, I am currently using Honda City 4th Gen VX with OEM Bridgestone Ecopia EP150 185/55 R16 tyres. I am facing two major issues with them, High road noise and Jerky ride due to the low (and thus hardened) 55 width of the tyres. To sort the above issues out, I am on a look out for replacement and I am interested in Primacy 4STs. - On exploring the Michelin site, I noticed that for rim size 16, only the 195/55 and 195/60 sizes have ST written along side them. So, does this mean only these 2 sizes are optimal for sorting out my road noise issues? - Secondly, only the 195/55 and 195/60 sizes have XL (Xtra Load) written along side them, so does this mean that these tyres will have hardened sidewall and will not improve the ride comfort add all? I am particularly interested in the 195/60 size, so, ST written in front of it makes me happy but XL written along it makes me doubtful. Thus, I request you all to enlighten me on this topic please. THANKS |

| ![]() I have booked ZX CVT 5th gen and getting it delivered this month end. For tyre change (mostly bridgestone along with new car) 1. Should I look for the same manufacturer (Bridgestone to Bridgestone) Or 2. Can I exchange with any other like Michelin, Continental etc 3. What is the difference in price for the new tyres payable in case it is the same manufacturer, if that is a point to be considered for better pricing? (I would be exchanging soon after delivery of the car) 4. Any recommendation of tyre dealers in Chennai. I live in T.Nagar. 5. I prefer 195/60/R15 - after reading the thread. |
