Tyre Advise for My Hyundai Getz CRDi

[zengetz]

Hello folks :,

My stock 175/65/r14 tyres need to be replaced and I read across many places that upsizing them on my Getz CRDi is a must.

Upsize in mind is 195/65/R14 is what I am looking at with difference in circumference ~1.11%

What is a good brand ? Im looking for good handling and grip. I love pushing the car after a long day at work


I used the calculator at http://www.tyrestore.in/upsizing.htm

1.11% is a bit high but its okay nothing much to worry. Yes even i have read at many places that Getz CRDI is a rocket with puny tyres , so upsizing is good.


I would recommend Yokohama S-Drive. If you are willing to spend more you can have a look at Falken and also Pirelli.

Any idea about the costs ? I am confused with the brands now.
I was earlier inclined towards Bridgestones.

1.1 high ? Thats interesting cos the calculator I used showed a very very minor variance in the speedo error too.

Anyone here done upsizing on the CRDi ?

Re: Tyre advise for my Getz CRDI

Yokohama S-drive costs around Rs.3900 per tyre here in Chennai. Pirelli and Falken will cost around thousand bucks extra i guess , sorry no exact figures for them.


Bridgestones are hard compound tyres , they will be a bit noisy at high speeds and low on comfort but will last longer.


I don't think anybody here owns a Getz CRDI.

Thanks dude ! Also reading about Apollo as we speak. Any thoughts ?

Re: Tyre advise for my Getz CRDI

Yes Apollo's are also good but i am not much satisfied with its wet performance in i20. I feel Yoko's have a slight edge over Apollo. But if you have the budget Pirelli and Falken are better.

Hey guys went to check out tires today. Bridgestones were quoted 4200.
I also noticed a certain China Tire stock names Ling long :D 2200per tire.

Im not inclined towards the china made one as I do not want to compromise on teh quality. There muct be a reason for it being so cheap.

Anyone here aware of this ?

No comments on china tyres since some of them are still alive running them!!

195 is a good upgrade.
Conti cpc2?
micheline?

Even i am not much interested in these cheap China tyres. Go for good branded ones. Tyres are the most important component of the vehicle , i would not like to make any compromises on that , no second hand tyres no cheap chinese brands!

Guys !! I got my Tires changed on Saturday - Yoko A Drives 185 65 R14s - Also got a complete service and De-carbonizing treatment done and my rocket just got even faster !!

Congrats buddy , i have the exact same tyre in my Verna , satisfied till now! How much did it cost you?

 

[zengetz]

Thanks Dude, it cost me 3900 a piece and upsizing from 175 did make a lot of difference..So you drive the Verna Crdi ? If so we share the same Soul but different body

 

[cooldhaya]

Oh , i think rates are high at Hyderabad. I got them for Rs.3500 here in Chennai.


Yup i drive the Verna CRDI , agree with you completely! True diesel rockets , one has to drive it to feel it!

 

[zengetz]

True diesel rockets , one has to drive it to feel it!

I also need to write up my 39k km ownership report soon. Feeling left out tho cos Im the only one here with the Getz CRDi

 

[cooldhaya]

I would love to see your rides ownership report soon. Take pride in being unique! Who knows maybe one day your review might be useful for somebody else.


Lets not go further OT.
