Need advice: New tyres for my Tata Harrier

I am now looking to replace the existing tyres on my SUV (Harrier) with new ones since they are almost at the end of their lifespan.

BHPian Livnletcarsliv recently shared this with other enthusiasts.

I am now looking to replace the existing tyres on my SUV (Harrier) with new ones since they are almost at the end of their lifespan.

I am now confused between the following options.

On a scale of 10 how do you rate all these below and what are their strengths and weaknesses:

  • Bridgestone Dueler D684.
  • Yokohama Geolander A/T G015.
  • Continental ContiCrossContact LX2.
  • BF Goodrich All-Terrain T/A KO2.
  • Michelin Primacy SUV.
  • Pirelli Scorpion ATR.

Here's what BHPian cs_rajesh had to say on the matter:

You should include Michelin LTX force too. I find them better among the ones I have so far used ( Bridgestone Dueler, Michelin Primacy) while not comparing with BF Goodrich KO2.

Here's what BHPian Shreyans_Jain had to say on the matter:

BFG All Terrain K/O is without doubt the best SUV tire, provided it is available. Yoko Geolander is a well deserved second. Speaking with experience with both.

Here's what BHPian anjan_c2007 had to say on the matter:

Bridgestone Dueler D684 would be my choice. Have been using this brand since 12 years and must say it's the best with no doubt even for Indian conditions.


Though some say Michelin is much better, I would still reserve my opinion as I do not have any first hand experience of long term usage of this brand for SUVs.

Here's what BHPian sandeepmdas had to say on the matter:

I have Michelin PrimacySUV in my XUV500 and Yokohama Geolandar G015 AT in my Duster. The Michelin is lot more silent than G015.


However, I won't compare these two actually as the G015 is an A/T tyre, though (I think) it is biased towards highway use as it has four grooves to drain water. There's not much difference in highway grip when compared to PrimacySUV but the noise is substantial. Overall, Primacy is better as my XUV has mediocre brakes while the Duster is a well-planted vehicle.

PrimacySUV is not an A/T tyre. It is an excellent highway runner. As said by many, you should include and compare the LTX and not PrimacySUV with G015, IMHO. Else you should include GeoLandar G055 also.

Is BFG available, I thought both BFG and Falken / Hankook are not available due to the recent govt policies ?

I voted for the G015 since you are apparently looking for an A/T tyre.

Here's what BHPian VW2010 had to say on the matter:

Do you need the AT tyre based on your runs. If not check for non AT tyres.


If AT, do have a look at the Apollo Apterra. It is getting good reviews and I changed in my Endeavour and it is definitely running quiet and handling everything thrown at it so far well. It is cheaper by 10 to 14k compared to Geolander and I may be spending 10k more on longer run compared to Geo but I get newer tyres in the same time frame on overall cost front.
