Hello Members,
I am planning to buy new tires for my Honda City Aspire. Rn, I am using Yokohoma Advan DB and I am highly satisfied with these tires. But I couldn't find Advan DB in the market prolly because of affected imports due to COVID-19. There are Yokohoma BluEarth available in the market.
I'd know which one is better performance wise. I know that Advan DB are best noiseless tires. Are BluEarth also noiseless? Plus are they better in performance and durability than Advan DB? I have drove around 60,000 KM on Advan DB.

Plus, Is there anyone in Rawalpindi/Islamabad/Lahore who has fresh stock of Advan DB V552 from Japan only? I am not looking for smuggled tires. Thanks

Yokohama Advan Db v552 is the most softest and Noseless tyre in Market right now.

After Advan db v552 blueearth is the best tyre .

But Always buy Yokohama tyres with Sheikh Brother waranty

Never Ever buy smuggled Yokohama tyre because after bending Yokohama does not comes to its original shape and even when looking alright smuggled Yokohama will vibrate on Motorways even after accurate wheel balancing

The best size for City Aspire 1.5/1.3

Is 185/65/r15

And best tyres in this size would be

1.Yokohama Advan db v552 (availability is an issue)but definitely available in 195/65r15 on Tyre Zone Gujranwala.

Yokohama Blueearth A50 - Available on Speed tyres Faisal town Lahore few days back in 185/65r15. (it is equal to Advan Db v552 in softness , but slightly more noiser tha advan db but even than quieter than most premium competetors) more tough than Advan db.

3.Yokohoma Blueearth Es32 great budget tyre very soft and noiseless but not softer than advan db.
Although softer than Michllen xm2

Tyrepoint is offering BluEarth only.

I am facing the same situation.

Qutab006 (Qutab006) 2020-09-11 22:26:19 +0500 #12

Guys, I checked with Sheikh Brothers Khi who are authorized importer of Yokohama in Pakistan. They have Advan Db v552 available in 195/65R15. They can also ship it across Pakistan.

anon35615524 2020-09-11 23:02:48 +0500 #13

IMO, this 195/65/R15 size in Honda City may be sincerely avoided.

bluearth is equally good and you can opt for ES32 or AE50 eye closed. they might impress you more than advan db.

So, today I went to Tyre Point Islamabad and got Continental CC6 installed. I don't feel much difference in drive although I will share details once I have driven around 1500-2000 KMs. I do have one issue that these tyres like Advan DB and CC6 always appear to underinflated when car is parked even when the tyre pressure is checked a few hours ago. Has anyone else noticed it?

1st of all, Heartiest Congratulations and Felicitations on your purchase Dear brother!

May it serve you long; may it serve you Best! Amen.

YES. I have also observed the same phenomena in my newly installed tyres from Dunlop; LM 704 205/65/R16.

I do not know what is the science behind it? (because during driving, they are absolutely fine), but if you and me have observed it, then others will have definitely observed it too, and accordingly, it may be taken as normal.

I Think it is due to Pakistani car manufacturers increase the car height for Pakistani roads more than car's Natural specs.

When this happens the car tyres goes in +ve camber and outside wall of front tyres gets curved in.

This only happens in front tyres but might also happen in cars having rear independent type suspension

KhurrumIftikhar1 (KhurrumIftikhar1) 2020-09-24 01:24:12 +0500 #18

By rule car front tyres should be in negative camber settings and rear should be at 0degree

Thanks for the kind wishes.
So, I just got the tyre pressure checked and it had come to 29 PSI from 30 PSI which was done yesterday. The tyre look really weird as it is about to get puncture or something.
Very unsettling sight for a driver. I don't know what's the reason.

anon35615524 2020-09-24 19:18:15 +0500 #20

Hmmm... Now that's strange.

My brand new tyres also look similar, but not in the way you are mentioning. My tyres may looking like as if, tyre pressure is 20~23 psi, whereas in actual, it is 30~31 psi, and there are no punctures.
