Hello Guys,
I am new here.
I am planning to change tyres on my Grand i10 2014, the stock ones are 165/65 R14 Goodyear DP-H1 and have covered 48kkm and two of them have totally gone bald also the rest two are feeling hard also showing ageing and cracks but the spare one is still unused. Almost only my brother has used the car so far as it was at my home town in Nashik and recently he with my mother shifted to Pune for job. Our use will be short drive on weekends also once in a month outside city and once in 2-3 months to Nashik or Shirdi-Manmad (Roughly around 1kkm a month).
I have shortlisted a few and also got a quote of few from nearby dealers including fitting alignment and balancing.
165/65 R14
1] Apollo Amazer 4g life. Rs- 3600-3750 (2yrs unconditional, 5yrs mfg warrenty)
2] BS B290 Rs- 4200-4220 (3yrs unconditional, 5yrs mfgW) the dealer says that i can use B290 both sides ie. inner side out and outer side in. Please if anyone me can brief me on this.
3] Continental CC5 Rs- 4050
4] GY DP-H1 Rs- 4250
5] Michelin XM2+ Rs-4850
Also few of them suggested me profile upsize ie 165/70 R14 so got quotes for them too
1] 4g life Rs 3000-3050
2] B290 Rs- 3110-3300
3] CC5 Rs- 3050
After the qoutes i calculated the upsize on online upsize calculators and found that it is showing less than 3% but also it says that it is fine for me to upsize as the dealer said.
At the price point under 4k i am not expecting much but long tread life, less punctures ( i am facing a lot since last 1 year on sotck GY) and good mixture of grip breaking comfort.
Also suggest me if i should upsize as suggested by the dealers. As i wont go for the width upsize coz it would price more which i don't want. For the profile upsize the calculator says the GC will increase by 8mm.
Also after upsize the 4 tyres will be of high GC and the spare tyre which i am thinking of keeping as it is, will it affect if i drive if situation demands three with high GC and one spare with low GC. what will be the consequences?
I am looking for the 1st three brands in my shortlist 4g life/B290/CC5.
