Hi All,
Being my first thread in forum, i would like to introduce myself here.
I am a IT guy working in Kolkata since last 4.5 yrs. I bought old i10 (2010 registration) model from one of my friends in Nov 14, due to family reasons. Car was in good condition. He said tyres need change after an year or so and you need to rotate tyres after every six months (front to rear and rear goes to front). I ignored it ...
In Sep'15, Rear wheels tyres showed up two/four punctures, and repairer suggested to change tyres soon, i again ignored it. In Nov, last month, one of the tyre got busted.
And after that i got serious to change the tyres, however due to budget constraints i opted for two tyre purchase.
Found one tyre store, in Saltlake named 'Mouchak' (who was actually Falken Authorised dealer, which i found out after deal was done), to buy Bridgestone B250/B290.
He suggested me to go for 'Falken Sincera SN835' as it have two years unconditional warranty and better driving than B250. I told him that front wheels are B250, so don't want to go with Falken's. He told me that there would not be any issue with i10 having two different set of tyres at all in terms of driving and mileage. He has done this type of tyre change on many vehicles. After his more persuasion, i opted for Falken, price was almost equivalent with B250, with only minor difference. So i striked the deal and purchased it.
(Earlier, prior to visiting store for purchase, i read about tyre change on different sites Sorry i missed this forum then. And Falken reviews were good and its said to have better handling and driving experiences by different users)
Now, i feel with new set of tyres at rear wheels, handling have improved a bit and about mileage, i need to check about it as i filled up the tank four days before only.
Now my question is did i created a mess for me, with going two different set of tyres on my car. (Front wheels have B250 & Rear have SN835). Is it going to effect in any way to car's mileage, etc.
Please advice.
