Not really but I do appreciated them for what they are, VFM products which excel at the activity that they are designed to do. They might not be an enthusiast's first choice but for someone like my mother who can't be bothered about engine response, steering response & all that they are good products from a company which gives you good service & cheap spares. Needless to say she's on her i10 after 4 years of driving a Santro!

Getz, I haven't driven but from the reviews and experiences, bad braking and softly sprung too.
Elantra is ok. But, stock availability?

Yes, Verna is a bad handler, a close friend owns one & I drive it very often. But the I TD'ed a Getz CRDi recently & that has a very nice suspension which is actually pretty reassuring & the steering feel is pretty good too. It needs a set of good rubber, a Pete's box & maybe Pedder's/Hot Bits (if you like) and you're all set to go!

You have Bridgestone S322 ? If yes, then I have first hand experience with them and they didn't lasted more than 40K, at max 45k.

stock bridgestone s322 on OHC - 55 kms and could have lasted another 5 k easily...

i was running apollo acceleres 155/65 r13 on stock 4.5j rims on my zen. had them changed recently after i upgraded to potenza gIIIs .. the apollos had run about 35000kms and was about 70% worn out. its should have lasted me another 5000kms minimum. have retained it to use while tackling the cochin to coimbatore highway

Depends on where and how you drive. Even i have the same tyres on my viva crdi and i expect them to last upwards of 45K. I am at 21K and they seem almost brand new with deep groves

Also, narayan has done 55K kms on the same tyres.

I had done 76k km on stock tyres on my accent and now they are gone. Now i really need a replacement. I had planned to change them when the car had done 73k km. Now at 76k km they are totally gone. will be heading for new alloys and tyres by tommorrow.

[alias]

if a tyre (tubeless radials) have more than 1 puncture due to needles and other stuff not on their own and has cracks does it mean it time to change them....and ya they have done apporx 13k kms

pl advise tyre gurus

thats a lot of kms for a stock tyre. I never heard somebody do so many kms on the same tyre. your lucky to get a life so long from the same tyres.
