My vehicle (purchased pre-owned - 1L km done 2.4 V MT) came with Yokohoma Earth 2, and expect another 7-10k to be done. Planning to change in another 3 months. What are the other ones I can go for ?

Continental UC6 are highly recommended in this thread for their low noise on highways.

I don't have a Crysta but curious to know about the tyre - UC6. How's the build, especially the puncture resistance of this tyre?

I have been using UC6 after recommendations fromnfellow bhpians and I am very happy with the tyres. The road noise has considerably reduced.

So I changed the tyres of my 2022 Crysta Diesel Auto a few days back. The right left had a punture on the same spot as the last puncture and I was getting tired of the unusually high puntures from the Bridgestones the Crysta came with. Pathetic tyres if you ask me and I realised that even more when I got theMichelin XM2 Plus's in.

Changed them on Sunday, the tyre lot was a couple of months old. Got them for 9000/- each.

Had a plan to leave for Nashik the very day in the evening for my mom's chemo. Got the chance to test them on the highway. Ride quality has improved by leaps and bounds, the car is no longer bouncing around on uneven roads. The Kasara Ghat was newly laid and that gave me a chance to test them around corners too. My parents enjoy a bit of spirited driving on ghats, so pushed the car and the grip is amazing.

The Crysta has such high torque and reaches silly speeds in sports mode in no time, the XM2's though much better than the Bridgestones, but still can't stop the understeering on tight corners at high speeds, making the car go absolute straight until you slow down a bit, but that's okay, I have figured where the edge of grip is.

All in all, this is my experience driving them for around 500 kilometres since I have had them installed. Will post more as I run the car more.

Planning to go for UC6 this week. The price here in Lal tyres, Chennai is 7000/each including tyre valve. They are quoting 8800/- for Primacy 4ST & Turanza 6i.

Did you change the tyres? How is the UC6 exp? Can you share the location of Lal tyres - any of their branches located near Tambaram? Mine has stock TPMS, will that also need to be changed while changing tyres?

Is it recommended to go for different profile tyres 215/65/R16? Any advantages with small increase in sidewall from stock 205 to 215?

Yes. The UC6 is quite soft (6950/-per tyre), and the ride noise has been minimized, but I still some amount of concerns about my shocks: :unhappy.

No, they did not propose upgrading to 215 (I specifically asked about upgrade). I believe the same TPMS can be installed here. Went to BM Lal Brothers on White's Road. Yogesh is the contact person, and the shop number is 08946022329.

Adding the tyre pic and the date of manufacture is 0225

I've been using the UC6 tyres for quite some time, and they are noticeably quieter than the stock Bridgestones. I’ve read they also improve ride quality, though I personally haven’t noticed a significant difference. The number of punctures has increased, but I’m not sure if that’s due to the tyres themselves or just a coincidence.

To the best of my knowledge, the UC6 is not available in the 215/65 R16 size.

The TPMS sensor is mounted on the rim at the base of the valve stem, and there is no need to replace it unless it's damaged or malfunctioning.
