Senior - BHPian ![]() | ![]() 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 ...

Senior - BHPian ![]() | ![]() Yup, 156k kms. on the VTEC in 4 years is no small feat!! Quote:
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. | |

| ![]() 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. Viper |
