-   -   Tyres for Laura Ambiente ? (https://www.team-bhp.com/forum/tyre-alloy-wheel-section/30802-tyres-laura-ambiente.html)

Hey guys ,got myself a Corrida red Laura Ambiente last friday(the first red laura delivered in India):D .

The tyres are dunlop sport with 15 alloys 205/60 R15 . I havent yet driven the car extensively but i found the tyre noise creeping in ..

Please help me guys and let me knw whether i should get the tyres changed ? will it help in reducing the road noise , what brand i should go for ?

P.S. I am yet to decide on upgrading the Alloys to 16 ,i 'll make a last minute decision on whether to stick to 16 after taking a drive .

Thanks .

Doesn't the Laura come with 16" alloys and 205/55-16 tyres...???

This may be OT, but a red laura?? Pix please!!

kpzen - The Ambiente version comes with 15 alloys .The elegance and L&K comes with 16 .

JayD - Skoda India has recently launched a new version named Ambiente . the colors that are available in this version are
1) Corrida Red(new)
2) Satin Grey(new)
3) Brilliant silver
4) Candy white .

^^ There are some pics of RS kitted Lauras in the Modified Lauras thread.

Hey khanak thanks for the link . I saw this thread earlier .in my laura Ambiente the tyres are 205/60/15 and above all i am not able to decide whether i should keep the Dunlop tyres or go for a change ?

Any reviews on Dunlop Sport please ??

I 'll post the pics soon .

@KP - this is the ambiente version that comes with 15" wheels.
@Beemer - I don't think you would want to change the alloys and upgrade.
Try Michelin Energy XM1s in the same size. They are amazing tyres.

I think switching to 205/55 R16 or 225/50 R16 will be a good deal.

I would love to go for 16(the elegance and L&K come in 16) the 15 alloys look really small on Laura but i 've to see the ride quality . I 've spoken to a tyre dealer and he has allowed me to take a drive on the new tyres for a KM and thats when i 'll decide whether to go for 16 .

Thanks for the suggestion ,i 'll check out the energy XM1 .

Any reviews on Dunlop sport , good or bad ?

There will certainly some drop in ride comfort as compared to stock 15".
But handling, cornering, high speed stability, braking, confidence in driving will improve with a switch to 16".

Dealers in Delhi offering a test ride....great..which dealer in delhi?

Go for the Michelin PP2's. I replaced the dreaded Goodyears in my C220 with the Michelins.....smiles all the way!
