I didnt know the Indigo and Petra ran on 65's. I would have thought they would have atleast 70 profile tyres.

Great stuff there NC!!! Looks like those whiskey's were put to good use!! I think I converted rudra to the Goodyear F1's too on our drive back *

0504...that means 1st week of Feb 2004. Don't think you can get newer D2's than that! And yea, the 1500 on the old tyres are darn good. BTW, did you change 5 or 4 tyres??
