2021 Honda City GM6 Dedicated Discussion, Owner/ Fan Club Thread

price quoted is quite high
I suggest you to visit Neela Gumbad. CC6 185/65 is available around 13.

[tahausmani]

Thanks
I will definitely check
Do you think Rs6,000 quoted for the stock tyres is a fair price
Or shall I ask for a bit more for them.

[umfa85]

A proper fresh import CC6 cannot be for 13k.. I bought for 56k back in Sept. Now I guess same tyres are 60k plus...

[umfa85]

6000 for all 4? How much ur tyres are driven?

[tahausmani]

6000 per tyre
The car will be driven straight from the dealership for the change of tyres
So brand new, I presume.

[awais924]

2021 import by General Tyres
let him visit the market first

[awais924]

Do you think Rs6,000 quoted for the stock tyres is a fair price

yes I think so

Your car would already be driven around 60km (Factory to Dealership by road)

195/65 is not recommended for city. It affects the acceleration and braking hence ruins the drive of the car. I had them for few months then went back to 175. I suggest not to go over 185/65.

[tahausmani]

Thanks for all the advise and guidance regards choosing the right tyres
That's the idea behind this forum and I definitely would have chosen the wrong tyre without the kind suggestions here.

So 195/65 is definitely out
It's to chose between 185/65 which is used by many here
Or 195/60 which is difficult to find, but according to tyre comparison is probably the closest match to stock tyres with a differential of 1%.

Hopefully will make the right decision when and if the car gets delivered next week.

This is from some Indian forum where a member upgraded tyres from 175/65/r15 to 195/60/r15

Cc6 in 13k is self stamped sold by fraudsters and people buy for self satisfaction.

[fastian04]

Elantra has no issue. Civic is just 153mm and never touches on normal speed breakers. Yaris is high and touches with 2 persons on back. Reason is the suspension stiffness as well. Super soft like yaris is not practical like corolla which has perfect suspension for our cities

[kjohn_18]

U r the first person who admitted that soft suspension is not a plus but its a negative considering our road conditions. U have mentioned that yaris hit with 2 persons. Even in Islamabad one has to go on some very rough roads. People who are admiring Yaris soft suspension doesnt admit that it hit the ground so this suspension is useless. Honda had introduced stiff suspension on purpose bz car should not hit the ground. Now again they have elevated city as they were helpless in front of our poor roads.

[kjohn_18]

There is particular class who buy honda and will always buy it. Dont compare it with Toyota which is famous for villages. Toyota mind set of people will always buy toyota as this suit their purpose. Toyota never invest on car interior as they know very well pakistani awam na toyota he laini ha interior jesa b ho bus gari unchi banani ha ta k villages ma ja sakay. Honda is also helpless now due to very very poor road conditions of Pakistan and have elevated city. New civic will b stunning in terms of exteior and interior.

Dude why going for CC6, an econo cheap tire that's not even made or marketed in developed countries. Only southeast Asia.

It has poor traction specially wet conditions. Comfort is OK.

Suggest Yokohama BlueEarth GT AE51 that has a balance of traction, grip n comfort or if you are more inclined towards comfort n low noise then Advan db v552.

Avoid Continental CC6 it's not in the same class at all.

[tahausmani]

I have had Yohohamas in my cars for almost a decade now
Always bought and changed at tyre club, Defence.
Usually last 40k.
They are great tyres no doubt about it, soft with good road grip
Only issue is once they go past 20k, they are a magnet for any nail or sharp object on the road and would puncture repeatedly.
That's the only reason I wanted to try something different this time.

That's true for Advan DB as it's super soft.

GT ae51 is an all-rounder and should last a long time.

BTW, CC6 too won't last a v long time. In Continental, the good tires are UC6 and Premium Contact series. Sadly not readily available here n will require searching.

[kjohn_18]

At the first place just curious yo know, Why u want to change tires and doesnt want to go with stock tires???

[tahausmani]

For one they look ugly
I cannot believe they went with a 175mm wide tyre

Second, obviously I do not have any experience with this perticular tyre yet, but had stock Eurostars in my Aspire 7 years back which were extremely uncomfortable and as advised I changed them to Yokohamas a week later and it was an altogether different ride experience.

[tahausmani]

To me, tyres are the most important aspect of safety in a car
You can have all the ABS, EBD, Traction control and other safety features but they are all useless without good tyres.
