UPDATE - 20000 kms done.

I have now done 20000kms in the last one year on these tyres.

Much of these kms have been done in the Mountains.

During this period i have done:
1. Delhi to Sikkim (North, West and South Sikkim) and back.
2. Delhi to Manali (a few times).
3. Manali to Ladakh (Leh, Hanle, Umlingla, Tso Morori, Tso Kar) - Here a lot of no tarmac running was involved.
4. Lot of city and state running in Himachal.

After reading the comments by others about what i could expect from the tyres, i was a little cryptic about them through these journeys.
But i must say, i have hardly felt any major issue through any of my routes.

My observations are:
1. No tyre cut or puncture so far.
2. Medium level of grip on offer, especially through wet roads.
3. About a 12% increase in mileage vs. the previous tyres. I can feel lower rolling resistance while driving. The car does tend to roll on for longer. If driven mindfully, you wont have to be on the gas constantly.
4. Suffices on most parameters that most car owners would look for from their tyres.
5. Not what i would call an enthusiasts' delight.
6. I think braking distance is ever so slightly longer on the tyre.
7. You will ideally want to adjust your driving style to a more sedated and relaxed manner to get the best out of these tyres.
8. Road noise is at a medium level. Its not as bad as the last set i had. But there will be options with even lesser road noise.

All in all, if someone is looking for new tyres can go for this, if your priorities are:
1. Better fuel consumption
2. Relaxed driving style
3. More highway running
4. Not to drive considering every corner as a curb to attack

I have also done 20k kilometres on these tires on my ertiga. 75% have been on highways. My observations are very similar. Rolling resistance is really low and I can notice that while coasting. It is quite resistant to punctures and has a sturdy build. As the tire ages I have noticed slight increase in dry braking distance. Wet braking was worse to begin with. I maintain a lower speed in rains as it hydroplanes a lot.
