i changed the tyres earlier this year from 155/80 R13 to 175/70 R13.. previously my ride had Bridgestone B391 installed by its previous owner which i kept running for 18 months or so.. B391s use to come with imported vehicles specially vitz... although all the tyres were in perfect conditions and treads very much there but the front left one had lost its shape and had developed kind of a bubble so ride became quite bumpy..
since i cannot spend a hefty amount on maintenance and shashkaas, so i started looking for better yet cheaper solution to the problem.. after a thorough survey and research on internet i opted for GT radials.. the indonesian brand available in relatively cheaper rates.. GTR 378 was the product i got.. GT radial sounds better unless you know what GT actually stands for.. its called Gajjah Tunggal i had to pay 9000/- (after settling the old tyres)
anyway i found them a good low-budget solution so far.. the road grip is good and braking has been dramatically improved.. however the are some -ve points as well..
- points:
good road grip
improved braking
cheaper rates
-ve points:
not so beautiful tyre.. doesnt add much to the beauty of ur car
slightly noisy.. the drive ride becomes slightly noisy & if u are use to with the super calm & quite ride, this one might bother you
in wet/ rainy conditions they are not as good as they are in dry conditions
few pix while changing the tyres... bad quality pix due to lack of light n mobile cam..
