You sure you wanna ask this question ?

Here goes my list

1 - Bridgestone's Puny tyres for the Baleno used for about 6k kms. I threw them away.
2 - Apollo Acceleres used them for about 6k or a little more.
3 - Goodyear Eagle F1 GSD II used for about 8k.
4 - Yokohama S-drives currently running on my car.

This thread (Tyres & their Various Tread Patterns) might be of interest to you, if you are planning on picking up a new set of tyres.

Edit : Ishaan that's quite a bit of driving done ...

Haha, Bridgestone (the ones that come factory fitted on santro) for 95000 Kms. Still had some life left but i threw them and the car away out of desperation.

Naa its true man, In the past 7 years i have had 2 Santros. First one i used for 85000 kms and sold it with original tyres and the last one was a 2003 model which i sold at 95000 kms again with original tyres.

Nope, stock was 175/65 R14 S322. But you know none of my cars run on stock tyres. I replace them first thing out of the showroom.

Michelins are definately better than Hankook. Taxi is running smooth and silent after tyre change and also getting better average.

Santro LS - Bridgestone (Tubed) ran for 60K KM before I sold the car.

[viper]

Man,

You guys sure make full use of the tread offered. I change the tyres of all my cars at a max of 25-30k kms or whenever they reach 70% of their life which is generally by then.
