| ![]() I have the old honda city vtech fitted with Bridgestone tubeless tires of the size 175/65 R14. Both the rear tires are flat and need to be changed. The front two tires are in the pink of their health. Now the question is : !) Is it ok to replace only two tires instead of all 4? If yes, then i might put the front tires in the rear and new ones up front. I am concerned if it will affect the mileage or performance of the car in any way? 2) The tires i have on now are the standard Bridgestone tires (S322 i guess). Are there any better ones available in the market. If yes, please advise on it. Thanks. Note from Team-BHP Support : Thread MERGED.

| ![]() 1) Yes you can replace 2 tires if the other 2 are in good shape. If you drive fast in wet put the new tires in rear axle. 2) Please search inside the forum, there are a whole lot of options available for upgrade, though Bridgestone's are not that bad either for regular usage. |

| ![]() Hi All, I am very dissatisfied with the ANHCs ride quality. My car came with the Michelin's as OE fitment. Small bumps on the road get filtered in as if there was no suspension in this car! I have gone through the few tyre upsizes recommended by Mr.GTO and Mr.Raghava. However, I still have a few queries for you all to answer ; 1. I dont wish to change to Alloys and would like to continue with the stalk rims. Please recommend a tyre which would offer excellent ride quality and should fit into the existing rims. 2. Any significant or perceptible difference that I would feel on upgrading to a 15 inch alloys (Notwithstanding the looks, alloys being lighter, fuel efficiency etc.). 3. Will a tyre change or upgrade affect the warranty in anyform ? Awaiting your expert comments please! Last edited by sandeep.mishra : 15th May 2009 at 10:22. Reason: new line added in between |

| ![]() Nayyar, can you please share your experience with the Michelin Primacy LC (195 65 15) on your ANHC? What deal did you get on them with the buy back? |

| ![]() The Primacy LC has been ultimate. I have had them on for 3 months now and driven them in all kinds of road conditions. I found a profound difference in road grip and cornering from the XM1. Also the road noise, i would say is down by almost 50%. I got a good buyback on the old tyres. 2300 per tyre when everyone else was giving me 1300/1400. Plus no extras. I took a package for 3 balancings, 3 alignments, 3 puncture repairs and 3 nitrogen fillings for Rs 500 out of which none of it was ticked done when i left with the new tyres. |

| ![]() Got a Bold Beige ANHC last Tuesday and the first upgrade was on Rims and Tyres. Thanks to this and various other posts which acted as my guide: Original ANHC (as we all know) is with steel rims and mine came fitted with Michelin XM1+. As recommended in some other threads, went to BK Tyres (Jitesh is really helpful) and got the following upgrades Went from stock tyres to Michelin Primacy LC. This deal costed me net Rs 2400 per tyre (Rs 4900 price of Primacy - Rs 2500 price of stock) i.e Rs9600 in total. Also upgraded from steel rims to Honda alloys (these alloys were imported from Honda Thailand) -> A set of 4 costed me net Rs 16500 (Rs 17500 cost of set of 4 minus Rs250 off on each of the 4 stock rims) Ofcourse, ride quality and grip has been absolute delight ![]() |

| ![]() Hi, One of the sales rep in a Honda dealership told me that, we should not change the OE tyre of the ANHC. What is said is that if the customer changes the tyre after delivery, the warranty is will not be valid for that car. Can Anybody who has changed the wheels / tyre comment on this? Thanks |

I had checked with the dealer before changing and he had assured me that it is OK to change as long as it is within the permissible limit. But we know that, if it comes to a point where you need to challenge Honda (in case if they refuse to honnor the warranty) these 'verbal' words from the dealer will not be good enough. There is a element of risk invloved in changining the tyres. | |

I am sure your ride must be looking great. As i am also looking for alloys, could you please share the pics of your alloys. Where did you get them? Does someone import directly from Honda Thailand?? | |
