Hi guys,

The title was just to grab your attention. (lol, no offense)

(Honestly speaking, if I drive with High beam on my ride can blind the vehicle coming from the opposite direction, however,I am barely able to see the lights, I drive in night using street lights, (Remember how Spiderman moves, pole to pole)

Hello Nick, Welcome to The Automotive India.

You said No offence, But it does bother really. When someone takes time out just to see whats new and gets all excited to see some great mod job and finds that its a joke, It really is wicked to grab attention that way.

And Now got Michelin XM1 + 155/70/12 (bEST, BESTER, BESTEST SETOF TIRES ANY ONE CAN GET)

Try 165/60 R 12 Bridgestone Potenzas and you will think the road is a railway track.

I just prefer to keep it real, No offence or anything personal Vishal. And though I've retired from racing and rallying. I still am really keen to see what the new kids on the block are doing today. I love to learn the present scenario as I am from the age when electronics in a car meant a digital clock. I really am finding it hard to get time to do something in here between work, kids and the farm. And its only natural for someone to say this. You'll understand when you get there one day finally.

Hi Nick!

Welcome to The Automotive India & have a great stay!

Nice way of pulling attention & great to know about your twin turbo zen

 

[nick17s]

@ nofate: Thanks bro.

@jalex: Oh sorry bro, didn’t mean to hurt any one’s sentiments here, I agree (my bad).
@jalex and Vikas: I saw 165/60/12 in Hankook/ Kumho, but I didn’t want to decrease the ride height sirs, Zen already has very low ground clearance
@:Zinam Thanks bro Zinam

Hello Nick welcome to TAI , would like to see some pictures of your car!

 

[nick17s]

thnx sir dhaya, I will click some and post soon.

 

[jalex]

Its okay Nick. Its just me and my old schoolish ways.

G.C can be a problem with the 165/60 R 12. Else you might have to look at 13inchers. I was using the 165/60 R 12 Potenzas on my alto and they are excellent on performance, both on wet and dry tarmac. Not a single puncture throughout even. But now I guess Potenzas are out of stock, Thanks to the new B.I.S and ISI stamp requirements on imported tyres.

And by the way you can call me Joseph or Jalex Nick.
