I switched from 155/80/13 to 185/70/13, fuel consumption decreased 2km/liter at all conditions.
BridgeStone are HARD tyres, suitable for rular areas.
Michelin tires are SUPER SOFT. Good for motorway.
Dunlop, Yokohama are Soft.
Select Tires according to your requirement.

Fuel consumption decreased or increased

[jawadjaved1005]

Mostly motorway and islamabad roads
So I should go for yokohama ?
And any price estimate for yokohama and michellene 155/80/13

[shahzaibtariq]

Which brand of tyres did you choose.?

[shahzaibtariq]

Jawad I'll soon change tyres too. Checked the prices in isl. They are bit expensive. Sadar is fine. Yoko A drive 175/70/13 costs 19k. Have to visit market again. What if we both plan to go market on one day. This would give us more power to bargain from seller.

[Naeem284]

BridgeStone. To use on a bumpy road. After change of job, now i have to travel on M-2. So planning to switch over to Michillen.

[Naeem284]

Consumption increased, millage decreased.

175-70r13 in Bridgestone Ecopia is hard. Will effect ur ride comfort, and fuel consumption. Go for Dunlop not 704 series. T1 or R1.

[jawadjaved1005]

Sorry bro m not currently in ISB so u have to do it alone

[Naeem284]

You are Right.

[snakelegnd]

155-80r13 only comes in General tyre brand or chinese, the alternate size with the same height is 175-70r13. So look into that. With 165-70r13 the height of the car will decrease as the second term (70) of the tyre size is the ratio of the first term (165). 175-70r13 provides the ideal height.

Recommended tyres Dunlop, Yokohama.
Michellin not recommended due to very soft side walls which increases the chance of getting damaged easily.

@shahzaibtariq I am using Dunlop 175/70R13 make-2016 got them for 17.5K from saddar pindi around 5 months ago. fuel average mine is giving 15.6 - 16.4 (depends on my driving style on early days of the week average decreases whereas on thursday friday it starts to improve I guess due to the traffic).
Although for some strange reason i feel the car runs lighter on stock black metal rims rather than alloy rims with same tyre hieght and size.

As for those who are facing heavy pick/ vibration issues with ac please get your condenser checked either it is choked or the gas is over pressure. under normal conditions AC does cause a loss of around 10 HP but doesnt affect the performance too drastically.
Unfortunately Passo condenser doesnt allow you to change the cotton filter which could have been very usefull for choked condensers.

[jawadjaved1005]

Isn't 165/70/13 is ok because I've herad that 175/70/13 decreases the mileage drastically.

And any idea what will it cost me yokohama 165/70/13 ?

[snakelegnd]

165-70r13 is a good tyre size, 175 gives u more height and ground clearance but it depends on the tyre if its fuel efficient or not. 165 bridgestone can ruine ur ride comfort while yoko and dunlop wont and will not effect ur fuel economy that badly.

[jawadjaved1005]

Yoko 165/70/13 price ka idea ?

Or yokohama me koi specific sugested model ? Like brodgestone ecopia dunlop eco etc...

[shahzaibtariq]

If you are upgrading tyre size. Then why not 175/70/13 of yoko Adrive.

[jawadjaved1005]

Because of mileage

[shahzaibtariq]

Just because of mileage I didn't change oem "sincera" tyres. But ill change them soon otherwise I have to sacrifice suspension and other cart parts like doors and dash.

[snakelegnd]

No idea abt the price. U shud contact Talha for it 0333-0123124 hes a relaible tyre dealer in islamabad.

Consult abt the models of yokos as wel with him.

[jawadjaved1005]

Bro what do u suggest 155/80/13 , 165/70/13 or 175/70/13
