I explored the Tyremarket website, but couldn’t figure out if it is a reliable one. Please throw some light if you have experience with that portal. Thanks!

When I last spoke to the local dealer, he claimed that the OE size (225/55 R18) is not available and suggested to upsize. I will ping Hemant to check about the availability of OE sized tires. Thank you!

Hi all,

I was able to procure the tyres from Tyremarket.com last month. I was pretty surprised to see that they could deliver the tyres within 7 days which the company itself couldn’t do over the past 3 months.

Coming to the tyres, I am seeing a night and day difference compared to the OE Nexens. I don’t know why I waited so long to make this move

Thanks to this thread, I went with ultrac for my Baleno petrol replacing 47 K KM run apollo alnac 4g. The ride is quite cushiony and silent than the previous tyres. Looks like the tyres are of soft compound.

It was a tough pick between Yokohama, Continental and Vredestein.

I paid Rs.8200/- for each tyre (195-55-R16) here in Hyderabad which is feel is slightly on the higher side compared to other cities.

Folks I am in the market for new tyres for my Kizashi the only performance options available in the 215/55 R17 size are Vredestein's Ultrac Vorti and MRF's Perfinza. I like the way the Vredesteins look and would like to try them out but they are mentioned as being 215/55 ZR17 now does that Z mean that they are run flats? Because that's something I don't need or want.

No, Z is the tyre speed rating:
