I am the first guy to tell people to change their stock tyres (or atleast thats what The Old Man tells me), but in this case I fail to see the point. Aside from spending a bit more of your companies money, which could be put to better use like having a house party in Mumbai |
I considered that RT. But like airfoil pointed out - the verna does look like it's standing on very thin legs. Safety comes first. If I live long, I can throw many house parties in Mumbai. Quote:

Do consider switching to Hyundai alloys! |
I have had some terrible experiences with Bridgestone and they have forever lost me as a customer. I don't care if Bridgestone has a gilded tyre with naked large breasted lebanese women, with soft skin the colour freshly drawn cream, rolling the tyres gently towards my verna, singing beautifully and offering me sweet wine from their pouty rosebud lips... I'm not buying Bridgestone.
I think I'm gonna now decide between 195 and 185 Michelin whatevers and Yokohama ES somethings.
I HATE hyundai alloys and don't think I want to buy aftermarket alloys for my daily company ride. Quote:

Steeroid baba, the ford fiesta was not feeling good to sit in. The front seat of the verna is comfortable to drive in. As comfy as my lancer.
I will be backseating it to town everyday, so i tried the rear left backseat. With the front seat ALL the way to the front and with the backrest folded over it was WONDERFUL limo like.
I'm gonna chop the headrest off, so I can see where we're going. I hate that front headrest in front of my eyes..
