After Traveling 300+ from Islamabad to Faisalabad i got 15 km / Liter.my ODO was just 600 at the speed of 120.
So its possible to get 18 at 80-90 speed.

@autophile I know you are a big fan of EuroStar Tires am sure you have your reasons, no doubt they are good tires, just wanna to share my experience of changing tires to other brand.
Today I have changed my car tires to "Advan Db", driving experience has totally changed.. So far I have noticed that steering response has improved a lot. Braking has also improved.
Believe me car feels very light now, I can feel the road.. It feels like there was a heavy load on suspension, which isn't there anymore..
Another thing which I have noticed is that Eurostars perform much better on bumps and pot holes but they are very heavy because of Their heaviness, steering response almost dies, that's my personal experience might be wrong, I would still prefer better handling and steering response which comes from yoko's.
Anyways let's see how it performs further down the lane.

Sir jee you were absolutely right. Now I feel that car is much lighter than before..

Sir jee I got the original packing with golden sticker on it..
Speed tires has given me that warranty card of sheikh brothers as well..
I paid them 20000 including Eurostars. I know one can get smuggled ones for 8500 but I got the warranty of full one year. Anyways much satisfied after paying 9500 for each tyre.
Date on the tire is 17/15. So they are very fresh tires.

Told you eurostars spoil the car TOTALLY. Absolute pieces of crap. I am happy that you went forward and made this decision. I have been dumping eurostars for 7 years now on zero meter cars and will continue to do so in the future inshAllah. Only mistake I made was to drive my 2008 GLi on General tyres for 21k kms.

Kindly elaborate 'EuroStars perform much better on bumps and pot holes'. Is Yokohama that bad on bumps and pot holes? It's a soft tire so how is this possible.
I had got the answer of all the queries regarding Advan dB and was mentally ready to get these and now you just raised another one..... Lol....

One more thing, are all the advan dB's v551 or v551 is for some specific advan dB tire variant?

Sir jee EuroStars are heavy they don't bounce on pot holes..that's the reason it feels like they are more comfortable in pot holes..
Advan Db is noiseless and equally comfortable but obviously it's lighter and bounce more than Eurostar.. So sometimes you feel that Euros perform better in potholes but am sure after few days of driving you will forget about Euros..
Right now in market Yokohama DBs are v551 don't know if they come in any other number as well..

Thanks brother, that kera in me​made it happen.
Seriously it's totally a different car now.. Much more responsive and now am more comfortable in moving it here and there on the road..
Car is much lighter, it feels like something is different..
Let see

If i install after market multimedia, wouldn't it be alot cheaper

Yokohama adven db 551 is made in japan while only yokohama db is made in malaysia or thailand i think .That is the difference
