Tyre upgrade for My Qualis

samy3660 · 17th December 2009, 16:43

Hi,
Please suggest a tyre upgrade for my qualis, it has run 126000 kilometres. It is still on 14 inch rims. So i was wondering which tyre to upgrade. I recently put on new shoes for my swift vdi, it is yokohama Es100 195/60/R15.

So guys waiting for your input.

Try Goodyear Wrangler DT, they've performed well on our Qualis.

Im using Bridgestone Ponteza GIII on my qualis and this was the second time i opted for these. But my qualis has also run alot , around 1.4L KMs and we have changed the tyres a total of 3 times, then how is it that your stock tyres lasted 1.2L kms?

samy3660 · 20th December 2009, 15:00

No, we have changed the tyres before but never upgraded it to a good one. So whats the upsize you guys recommend, i like Goodyear Wrangler DT. And what other options.

Thankyou.

Please note that you will need commercial radials for the Qualis. The XM1+ would be a passenger radial and would wear out faster, not to mention uneven wear. Happened to me with the Bridgestones. I think the right upgrade is 195/60 R14, don't remember exactly though.

Check the load index for Qualis and see if it matches XM1's, also if you plan to use the vehicle on rough roads go with good ol Appolo or MRF's.

Well thanks discover wild and jaggu, so i think xm1+ is a no go. I think Goodyear Wranger DT would be a good choice, and regarding the upsize, what is the best profile??

vigsom · 13th January 2010, 20:49

195/70R14 or 205/65R15 is a good upgrade for Qualis.

You can get both in Turanza ER60

Have seen the Turanzas on some Innovas;from reports that I have heard,they are the best blend of comfort and durability

Samy,wasn't it you who reported a Swift tyre upgrade and some steering issues?

WasavaTyres · 13th January 2010, 21:09

Try Goodyear's Assurance in 195/70/R14 size. Just check if the unconditional warranty scheme is still on.

samy3660 · 14th January 2010, 18:24

Yes Visgom i reported a problem regarding swift steering assembly issue and i think now, that it was due to the loose nuts of the driver side rear wheel which i accidently found out(thank God). Now the noise is gone and i couldn't exactly say if there is any issue with assembly because even the service advisor at MASS hasn't confirmed anything.
And seeing the masses in here uses 195/65/R15 on swift i don't think that the tyre is at fault.

Thanks guys now i have 3 options:
Goodyear Wrangler Dt
Goodyear Assurance
Turanza ER60

Did your car originally come with 175 or 195 width tyres?

Either way, I'd suggest using 195/70 Bridgestone Turanzas. They came as OEMs on the "RS" model. Easy to source, and pretty long-lasting.

If you're going for some other tyre (someone has mentioned earlier on this thread) do remember to check out the load index to see if it matches with the recommended for Qualis.

montyguru · 21st March 2010, 20:38

it's a 2000 GS model which has 175 bridgestone E700. i think its 175/85 R14... 195/70 sounds good, will have a look at it. thanks.

Hi,
Just bumping this thread as i am not able to source turanzas in mumbai, looks like it has been discontinued. The dealer i am talking to has 4 turanzas tyres ready with him and he is telling me that the 5th one will be available in 2 or 3 days. Now do you guys think will it be discontinued, and if it is discontinued then will it be a problem for me?? Now please its urgent coz i am going to change it in next 2/3 hrs, what other good tyres can i opt for?? I have now only 2 options one is assurance and other one is bridgestone er88, which the dealer is suggesting me.

Thankyou.
