Correct upsize may be 195/55/14 or max may be 205/55/14, need to check the errors. Pls PM iraghava, he can help you in this.

I am confused. There is no 205/55/14 or 195/55/14. Please check Michelin India - Energy XM1+

While the tyre dealer recommeded me to stop with 185/65/14 to avoid bumpy rides, GM guys says I can even go for 185/70/14.

GM guys strong says to not to use 195/60 or 195/70, as it would be difficult to turn, as it may hit inside. :-(

A guy in my office changed to 185/65-14 from the stock and is very happy with the ride now as previously the car used to touch down and had a very hard ride.

It's the same as Lancer's case. Stock tyres are wrong size.

185/65-14 or 195/60-14 is not a problem and is a good upsize.

GM service manager asks me to not to go for 195/60/14 (personally I like to have a wider tyre), is that true that it will hit the mud guard while turning wheels?

I have been using 195/60/14 Yoko ES100s on my Aveo 1.4 for the last 8 months. It has not hit the mudguard or inner wheelwells or the upper portion of the wheelwell under any circumstances. This is even after driving daily in Bangalore as well as 3 Ooty/Coonoor/Madikeri trips with full load (3 adults, 2 kids, loads of luggage).

However, the ES100 is a tyre with relatively less rounded shoulders as compared to the XMs or the PP2s. The latter 2 may scrape: I honestly don't know.

Further, the 1.6 MAY behave differently with the greater weight of the engine. Best to check with someone who has 195s on his/her 1.6!

Got my Michelin XM1+ today for 3700/- per tyre (185/70/R14) with Bill and Warranty. Without bill and warranty, the tyre shop was selling it for 3500/-.

The tyreshop even threw in a pair of Rayban's, courtesy Michelin. Wheel balancing and alignment was an additional 200/-. Paid me 1000/- per tyre for the JK's which had done 1800 Kms.

All in all, i think it was a good deal. Though I'd share the pricing for potential stock rim upgraders cheers:.

just read the post actually, can you tell me from where you got your Michelins, i am changing tyres in my logan from the stock JK to Mich. Have done 2400kms on it. Thanks.

[finneyp]

Anil, you can check the Michelin dealers in Mumbai at Michelin India - Home

[anilkalvani]

@finneyp:
The Michelin Web-site has some error, cant open the dealer list... plus i wanted to know the exact place from EnITeeIEn so i can get a similar deal.

[tantunain]

after all the research on this forum followed the instructions and went to super tyre tec on jc road met prakash and got them michelin xm1+ fitted on my car its been a week and 300 km and am very glad i took the plunge for the tubeless michelins. had been doing the research for the best deal in bangalore and what i got was the albiet by a small margin

[anilkalvani]

Finally got Michelin's Energy XM1+ 185/70/R14 and gave back 2600kms run JK Vectras (same specs) for my Logan. Felt the difference in the ride immediately coming to my office right now. Has an awesome grip & feel, drove at 90kmph and tyre noise was way lower than the JK's. Very happy with my purchase. Will have to try this out at higher speeds

Hey bro, congrats . I assume u must have had the zvts as standard.
How is the ride quality, comfort and road noise now ? Need your feedback as I also have to change the tyres of my Ikon and am undecided between
xM1+ 175/70 R 15 and Yoko A 300.
Thanks

Thanks Sammyboy,
I had Bridgestone earlier. The XM1+ scores on all points over the earlier Bridgestones, but am no expert wrt these matters So can't comment on how good they are when compared to the Yoko. Really Sorry!
