Also other option is the Michelin PLC (have them on my Scala) & the comfort levels are supreme ![]() Last edited by karan561 : 14th April 2013 at 18:35. | |

Grip / Performance levels are similar also the tire noise is not a concern for both the brands Overall Primacy LC is more cushioning than the Yokos simply because of Michelins being soft, but Yokos catch up on being slightly more sturdy than the Michelins. ![]() | |

| ![]() I have already posted my experience with MY02 in this same thread. Not just the road noise has reduced significantly at higher speeds but also increased comfort on bumpy road and better control while cornering on high speeds. Feel much much safer now with the upgrade. Though there is a mileage reduction of 2 kmpl as its a sporty tyre but worth every rupee spent! |

22K for the set is not bad considering it is a premium offering from BS. Regarding braking can you really feel that the ABS kicking in a lot later? | |

Both are more or less good enough. Quote:

But a 2kmpl is 12% if you get a FE of 17kmpl. That is a lot. I would get the alingment checked if I were you. Quote:
If you have better traction, wheels will not lock up or lock up at a later stage. Hence the ABS will kick in later. If you have ridiculously thick tyres say 255, ABS will probably never kick in our sedans. Quote:
Actually I stumbled upon a thread which speaks highly against CPC2. It may a one off case but still. http://www.team-bhp.com/forum/tyre-alloy-wheel-section/93147-continental-cpc2-just-not-worth.html Last edited by oxyzen : 18th April 2013 at 00:23. | |||

That post clearly is of a disgruntled user who's more concerned with the unfortunate incident of losing two tires on the same day. Can happen with any brand. I'd rather go with @nikhilb2008 & @vid6639's replies than the OP's concerns. And as for sidewall thickness, @souravc has conducted analysis on CPC2 & few other brands in his thread some time back - clearly the CPC2 had decent sidewalls. (Anyway) In the end, I know the roads that I have taken the Vento on (with Apollos & CPC2) - extremely hard & broken down roads and both sets have done quite well. Especially the CPC2 as they still haven't given me any problems so far. I'm a satisfied user. Last edited by ninjatalli : 18th April 2013 at 08:01. | |

| ![]() Guys I could not find a thread for VW Polo tyre upgrade. Now the Polo highline and GT comes with the noisy Apollo 185/60 R15 tyres. Incase we want to upsize to 16 inchers especially considering the power and mod potential of the GT Tsi, which is the correct size to go for 205/50 R16 or 195/55 R16. Not many options in 205 size, save the Yoko S.Drives/AR1's. Any decent asymmetrical tyres you guys know of which is available in India off the shelf? |

| ![]() Just upgraded my Polo TDI Highline tyres to S-Drive 205*55*15. last one day with them do not see any issues related to comfort and pulling. Though if I compare that with 195*55*15 S-drive (on my cousin POLO) its heavier than that. Rest after covering some miles on it. |

2.Yokohama A drive R1 3. Apollo Acelere Maxx 4. Imports like Nankang, Maxxis, Nexen and Kenda 5. Came across Goodyear Assurance Fuel Max also but didn't go for them as it had poor reviews. Just went in for my 2nd set of 16ers. Earlier I was rolling on Yoko A drive R1s, went for Apollo Acelere Maxx this time. No particular reason for the change of make. Wanted to try a different set of tyres, the substantial cost savings were a bonus. Also my running is merely 7k km a year of primarily city driving. I got my hands on them 20 minutes back! ![]() | |
