| ![]() Finally after lots of thinking got all 5 tyres changed for my ford Figo. Got Pirelli 175/65 R 14 82T Cinturato P6. Cost Rs 23000 including valves Wheel Alignment, Balancing and Nitrogen fillings. Haven't driven much so did not find any difference except on speed brakers it was a bit smooth. |

| ![]() Hi all, I have first gen Figo. I've replaced my car's tyres around 35k KM's with Yokohama Earth 1 185/65 R 14. My odo is now 80k+ KM's. Need to change them. I've got a neighborhood Tyre ship which is offering Bridgestone, Falcon and Good year tyres for ₹4800, ₹4500, ₹4500 respectively. They're offering 2 years guarantee and 3 years warranty. Which of these brands is preferred? Please help. ![]() Regards, Sri Harsha |

One of my tyres burst while driving (barely 2000 Kms into the replacement), they replaced it for free on basis of my explanations. I believe you were quoted price for Triplemax Assurance tyres. | |

| ![]() My new figo has run about 43000 kms on stock 175/65 R14 goodyear tyres. They have about 3mm tread left but two of the tyres developed sidewall punctures so I am thinking about changing all 5 tyres and upgrading to 185 65 R14. I am considering continental cc5, yoko earth 1 and michelin XM2's. Which tyre among these is preferable? How much do the ford official alloy wheels cost in case I decide to change my stock rims to alloys? |

| ![]() Changed tyres on my Figo last week. Was running the Continental CC5 185/65/R14 earlier which were due for replacement as I had used them for 55k kms plus with the monsoon fast approaching and a few highway trips planned. Opted for the Good Year Assurance TripleMax 2 (GY ATM2) in the same size from Lokmanya tyres Pune. Initial impressions are really quite good! They are quieter and comfortable than the CC5's for sure. Grip is never an issue for me based on my driving style, but the tyre performs very well IMO. One thing I can say is that wheel lockups that i used to experience while sort of panic braking, with the original MRF ZVTV tyres which came with the car, are a thing of the past, the earlier Continental and now these Good Years both are miles ahead in that regard. They look nice on the figo too, although that's subjective. Didnt consider the Michelin XM2+ since I have experienced rubber chipping problems with XM1 and XM2 on my other cars. Was contemplating between the Earth1 and ATM2. Finally settled for the ATM2 based on the following points.

| ![]() Hi, looking for hub rings for my Figo. 73.1mm to 63.3mm (Figo’s centre bore size). Please let me know where i can find the same. My Momo alloys came with these but ever since i shifted to HRS a year ago, I’ve never been able to get my car balanced and it always vibrates above 100kmph and its extremely frustrating. With my Momo Wheels, it went up to the top speed without breaking a sweat and with utmost stability. Please help me find these hub rings, it’s been a year and it’s just frustrating to live with this sort of vibration. |

| ![]() i no longer have the Figo with me, but AFAIK it did have a small difference in cornering. But not too obvious. |
