Yes they did perform balancing before installing tyres to my car.
Thanks guys for your support![[thumbsup]](https://www.theautomotiveindia.com/forums/images/smilies/Thumbs%20Up.png "Thumbs Up [thumbsup]")

Acceleres are a good compromise between comfort and performance. The pricing is good compared to Michelins. In fact the Acceleres were developed when Apollo had a tie-up with Michelin.
Congrats. The tyres are a bit expensive compared to the Acceleres a which I got for 2620 each.
I was not happy with the OEM Bridstones on my Siena. The Goodyear NCT5 were much better. Cannot comment on the Michelins as i haven't used them. Regarding the Accelere punctures also I cannot comment as I have just fitted the tyres. However I haven't heard many complaints on these tyres.
Well you're the best person to comment on these tyres as you're using them. Anyway Shailinder took your advise and bought the tyres.

Congrats Shailinder, you got new rubber at great prices. BTW what about your old tires. I dont think Reliance would have purchased your old shoes?
PS: Its time you post some pics of your shy Estilo.

Absolutely Peter. I took his advice with others and took the plunge. You are right they are expensive if one compares with Apollo etc. Even Yokohama's were coming around 2800 - 2900 price band with same combination.

Re: Planning to change shoes for my Zen Estilo (Lxi)
Well thanks
My previous tiers were Goodyear.They lasted for 25k kms only. Although its now 5 year old.
The tires were in very bad condition and causing very loud noise inside cabin.also there was a very irritating zag-zag noise inside.
I was frustrated and checked with service station and also tire dealer and both suggested to change them.
I had then checked all options for upgrade and then selected Mechallin XM1. They are expensive among all brands but quality wise best.And
I am also experiencing the difference even all of my family members are now happy with noise in cabin and ride quality and backed my decision.
When I asked about prices then For 12"
Apollo acceleres - 2300
Goodyear - 2050
Bridgestone - 2600
Mechallin -2800

Re: Planning to change shoes for my Zen Estilo (Lxi)
Don worry, normal air would do the job mate. You could have pushed for Rs200 per tyre. Cos my Apollo Amazer XL which was @25k old fetched Rs500 per tyre. Never mind, enjoy your ride on new shoes ![[drive]](https://www.theautomotiveindia.com/forums/images/smilies/Drive.gif "Drive [drive]")
They gave me Rs. 100/- per tyre
One question to all, do I have to fill normal air in these tyres or rather can I fill normal air ? If not, then what would be the ideal frequency to fill Nitrogen in these tyres ? Any recommendation ?

Re: Planning to change shoes for my Zen Estilo (Lxi)
First of all congrats Sailinder for new shoes ![[:)]](https://www.theautomotiveindia.com/forums/images/smilies/Smile.gif "Smile [:)]")
I would suggest to stick to normal air. Advantages of filling up Nitrogen are not too many, may be that you have to less frequently check the pressure. When I got new set for my ride, I checked and didnt get any positive for Nitrogen fill.
Waiting to hear what others say on this.

Refilling update
On Saturday, I topped up nitrogen. It was difficult to locate a pump with nitrogen station as well in Dwarka (Delhi). I did not know that it would be pain or unless you are lucky to have one near your place. I could not check the pressure at the time of refilling because it was not working and the person used normal measuring unit in hand to check. He asked for Rs. 50/- but I gave Rs. 40\-(Rs. 10\- per tyre).
Do not know whether it is ok or not.![[confused]](https://www.theautomotiveindia.com/forums/images/smilies/Confused.gif "Confused [confused]")
