I would recommend Conti CPC2 in case you are not able to get the C drives. The CPC2 also in this size are 99V XL rated and should be good | |

| ![]() I am in search of Tyres for my Yeti. After being on the phone for most part of the day No one has a solution. Available(read common) tires profiles are not yeti specific, now my only option is to source Apollo 225/60 R16. I am sure i dont want to drive on OEM tires. Well i have never driven on OEM tires to be honest. I have got in touch with my reliable source hope he gives me some good news before weekend. |

Senior - BHPian ![]() | ![]() I got to know an importer in delhi who informed me they have Yokohama Geolander 051 (HT) in 215/60/16. But I don't know about the speed rating and load ratio. It says, HT, I am told it is an SUV tyre. Any tyres Guru, please give your comments on this tyres for the yeti. |

These will be tougher than the stock OEM Yeti tyres. Plus Yos have a good reputation. I would buy these because of the very bad roads in and around Bangalore that I drive around on, daily. The size is correct as per the stock size so there should not be any problem with warranties etc. | |

| ![]() There are various brands discussed here, such as Michellin, Yokohama, Bridgestone, Pirelli etc. Out of these which would be the best to go for, assuming you want a tough tyre that you can drive on rough roads and at high speeds on the highway? Which is a good tyre & wheel shop in Bangalore? |

| ![]() Upgrading tyres on Yeti is indeed a huge improvement as Behemoth has already explained. I took the plunge following Behemoth's lead. The upgrade was definetly worth it and makes the Yeti feel more complete. Getting a good tyre is the challenge though !! I have upgraded to Pirelli P6, which the website indicates can be used for MPVs (not sure it means anything !!) . Its UTQG is only slighly higher than the GY Excellence (Pirelli UTQG is 260) - but the overall ride quality and drivability is a huge improvement. Thanks Behemoth.

Senior - BHPian ![]() | ![]() Finally, got new shoes on my yeti ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() The tread are thick and I am hoping it would take rough roads with ease. Initial impression is very positive. Very minimal road noise. And I can feel the grip has improved manifold. Handling even beyond 120+ kmph is good. And looks good too Last edited by iTNerd : 4th July 2012 at 23:31. |
