Hands down THE FINEST INDIAN YT VIDEO on tyres. A killer if not taken care of. My junior doctor died because his tyres burst in expressway. Thanks you two, God bless you two.
Kya kya bol rahe ho bhai... Plz have thoda theory thik karo sir ji... All letters and numbers have meaning, you can literally explain everything without even a chart.
Good video indeed! My personal experience with tyres goes as follows My Hyundai i20 Asta 2009 model came OE with Apollo Acelere, maybe due to my heavy usage on concrete roads (especially on harsh concrete surface of Mumbai Pune expressway) and the 240Nm torque from CRDi mill the initial tyres gave away within 27k kms, I replaced it with GoodYear Assurance which although ran for 45k kms it did became very gritty after 30k kms and I hated using it especially on the expressways, I replaced it with Bridgestone B290 which till date is one of the best tyres I ever used, very low road noise, decent grip and good life too, I eeked out 50k+ kms from the set, so much so that I ended up consuming two more sets of the same tyres! Recently I changed the tyres yet again but since Bridgestone have discontinued the B290s I decided to go for Continental Ultra Contact UC6, have used it more than 15k+ kms as of now and response has been excellent, tyre noise and road holding are even better than B290s, a must try for sure. My dad's WagonR came OE with Apollo Amazer3G, which ran for 40k+ kms, I replaced it with Michelin Energy XM2, used it more than 45k+ kms and even though they were good to go for 10k kms more but I felt unstable (keeping in mind the already sloppy handling of the WagonR at the first place), replaced it with Bridgestone Turanza T005a(the same tyres which comes as OE in Honda Elevate, Toyota Camry, Lexus ES300H) and after 30k kms these are still good to go for 20k+ kms. My Tucson came OE with Nexen and one of them gave away early in its life due to manufacturing defect in 15k kms which Hyundai did honour and replaced it with Bridgestone Turanza T001 and as of now my car is still on its first set and covered 50k+ kms and are still good to go for another 10k+ kms. Adding some more points, as Munish Ji said the tread walls have an impact on sound levels and this is actually true, this phenomenon is known as HelmHoltz principle. Next yes the tyres' intrinsic strength is determined by the steel radials, this was explained by my dad( a metallurgist from IIT Kanpur) and said radials used in car tyres are one of the highest tensile strength steel used in industry. Those radial steel are quite strong have strength equivalent to earthquake resistant TMT bars, those are developed from extensive R&D which my dad was a part of way back when he was in service and was successful in designing one which he had subsequently patented(he has 15patents by the way) and many international journals quoted about his project widely. Although I understand what Mr Munish said that deeper grooves in tyres mean lesser rubber which is bad but I want to ask ain't those grooves and sipes are required to prevent aquaplaning? I don't think so F1 cars and MotoGP bikes don't have to face undulating surface with uneven aquaplaning whereas regular cars have to bear the brunt of poor roads, even airplanes have sipes and grooves to prevent aquaplaning. Also Mr Munish said only Michelin& Bridgestone provide tyres to commercial jets I disagree, I've been in AirbusA330 and Boeing777 jumbojet, and I observed them fitted with GoodYears and Dunlops too. Regarding air pressures, check the door jam for correct recommended pressures, and I guess its a class11 science lesson that as temperatures increase pressure increases too(Boyle's law). What matters is the pressure not air quantity, remember that. Regarding Tyre wear, you can check with Tread Wear Indicator and you can use a simple 1rupee coin to measure it when it is parallel to surface I guess it's time to change, other factors include whether it's driven on concrete roads or on higher temperatures during summers or winters and age of tyres which causes them to become brittle, my uncle a Polymer scientist at USA(he has a big hand in developing the special paint required for stealth military machines of US Army) explained me about brittling of polymers. Lastly regarding silica, apart from that what matters is the carbon chains, which should be long chain links and of course bonded with silica, Bridgestone uses NanoPro Tech a patented technology for linking carbon and silica and also using HelmHoltz principle to dial down noise levels in their premium Alenza,Potenza and Turanza series. Additionally Run Flat tyres have an extra steel reinforcement at the sidewalls which allows them to run even after they face an air loss, only downside is if driven in that state for too long, they get damaged beyond repair, also they're stiffer and harsher than tubeless, also you must've been knowing about US President's car, the Cadillac beast, that car comes fitted with special tyre(GoodYear) which can even run after being hit with bullets! Same technology is used by Michelin which is fitted in German Chancellor's Audi A8 Security. One more thing I would like to share is when Bugatti developed their Veyron there was no car tyre in existence that could hold up to the performance that Veyron had to offer with its ballistic W12 8.0L which would go well beyond 400kmph. VAG asked Michelin to develop tyres for the Veyron, at first Michelin outrightly rejected the request citing high R&D costs and low returns(meaning huge financial loss) as Veyron would be a niche product and only limited cars would be ever made and even less to be sold and therefore Michelin couldn't be able to recoup the costs, at that time the Veyron being almost completed and VAG pumping in billions of Euros into the project couldn't take a U Turn and nor get any tyres for their expenisive project to actually test out the car they made, was in a fix. Thus at that point then MD&CEO of VAG Sir Ferdinand Piech(grandson of Mr Ferdinand Porsche, founder of Porsche), the man behind cars like Phaeton and Touareg W12 said if Michelin won't make tyres for their Bugatti Veyron they would cancel all the tenders with Michelin being OE supplier for each of their cars (including VW,Skoda,Audi,Ducati etc), this meant a huge setback for Michelin and unwillingly they had to develop special tyres which costs a cool 42,000$ per set(almost 38Lakh rupees, yes just the tyres!!), IIRC they're almost of 370sections! Regarding asymmetric patterns, yes they do help in enhancing road holding and enhancing grip but the thing is it must be ensured these are fitted in the correct direction and one needs to keep an eye, also since they're asymmetric and due to their uneven tread pattern they pose a slight risk in wet as these may form aqauplaning channels whereas a symmetric pattern has grooves uniformly which ensures water film is drained to the sides and no aquaplaning occurs, thus I recommend and lean more towards symmetric tyre pattern for everyday cars. Sorry for the long post but I too felt I must share some insights from whatever little knowledge I have in this field. Thank you!
You know that much and your father is a Metallurgist from IIT and still buys WagonR? Hurd mentality so much deep rooted in we Indians no matter what we know.

Today whatever I and my elder brother( a businessman along with my maternal uncle, owns cars like Merc GLS450d), are only coz of the sacrifices made by dad only to provide the best of education to us to the best of his capabilities, even if it meant buying a WagonR in 2010(which was actually near the end of his service life), in initial 20years he used a Chetak scooter and then upon us forcing got a MS800 in 1999 and his retirement car was the 2010 WagonR, and he loves it like his 3rd son and it's my duty to keep his car in top shape. So I guess it's better not to comment anything on anybody's choice as we don't know what's the story behind it. Thanks and cheers!

Incredibly informative video! It's content at its finest, focusing on the often underrated topic of car tyres. This TH-cam channel has some serious potential. Keep the good work going, appreciate your efforts.
One thing that irritates me the most is people with positive or negative camber driving their cars at triple digit speeds on expressways. those cars are meant to be show cars only. Either keep them on the track or keep them in your garage.
A small amount of negative camber makes sense for easier turn-in. Refer to Prof. Andrew Marziali’s talk _The Physics of Racing_ for details. BTW if you know what camber is, you probably don't need to watch this video 😅
After switching multiple brands, settled with Michelin XM2+ series OEM size. Just one correction in T-Roc OEM size is 215/55 R17 instead of 50 side profile as you mentioned. In India below 1 crore price no car providing side profile of 50. They have width 245 or 255 to compensate 50 side profile. Side profile is in percentage. I prefer to have around 112-113 mm side profile for sedan hatchback & 118-119 mm for suv. 185/60 =111 195/55= 107.25 205/55= 112.75 215/55= 118.25 215/60= 129 (never given in german or honda cars) Germans and Japanese companies maintaining this side profile in their all cars.
Great knowledge by Munish Ji. Need similar videos on all aspects of automobiles like suspensions, brake disc, brake pads etc. Keep more videos coming Paaji😊
I guess you can go for Pirelli Cinturato or Vredestein’s and avoid Yokohama as they have weak sidewalks.. If Michelin’s are available then they are the industry best😀
Really educative video, leaned a lot of new things. I would like to request to make a video on after how many kms should we recheck our wheel alignment and wheel balancing. And how to maintain/take care of spare tyre.
Thank you for the detailed tyre knowledge sharing. For Skoda Kushaq 16R tyres… company recommendation for fully loaded vehicle is 41 front and 48 rear. This is too high I think but at the same time should I doubt recommended pressure by the company. I am very confused with the same, kindly put some light on the same . I think Skoda should intervene and make amendments. This pressure is mentioned on the sticker that is provided near driver side of the Kushaq.
Tyre pressure depends on the width of the tyres and the weight of the car. Idk about the width of tyres in kushaq but it’s a fairly heavy car especially the 1.5 variant. Weight and tyre pressure are directly proportional and tyre width and pressure are inversely proportional. All I can say is follow the manufacturer’s recommendations.
After a quick google search I got to know that the recommended tyre pressure for kushaq is only 33 psi. The recommended pressure for full load is 38 for front and 46 for rear. As I said, more the weight, more the pressure required.
@@danbruh33 Agreed, however the tyre pressure mentioned for fully loaded Kushaq is 41 psi front and 48 rear on the tyre pressure sticker near the drivers door. It is company recommended, however seems bit on a higher side :)
Today I bought new tyres for my Škoda Superb. Till now i was driving my car with stock tires which was apollo Aspire 4G with the tyre size 215/55 R17, Who satisfied me. I drove 42000 km with Apollo. I have purchased Continental Ultracontact UC6 with 2 years unconditional warranty. I wanted to buy Michelin tyres, but because they did not come with unconditional warranty, I had to buy Continental tyres. My other vehicle which is MG ZS EV also has Continental tyres of same size i.e. 215/55 R17. To me, that car gives very good handling but the body size of superb is different, so I put new tyre on it and see the handling. After that i will share my experience
fantastic information to say the least. it was eye opening to watch and understand. i have changed my mind about the tyres i was going to replace with.
Great informative video… there are lot of things which needs more clarity for the benefit of people at large . All Car tyres have TWI (tread wear indicator)marked at six equidistant locations on tyres at tyre shoulder region. The height of the TWI bar is 1.6 mm this is as per CMVR ( central motor vehicle rules). So whenever tyre grooves are worn up to TWI it is time to change to new tyres. ITTAC (Indian tyre Technical advisory committee) specify all the design specifications for all tyres manufactured in India. Can share more specific information if required
Great video... Very informative, all misconceptions gone.... I am also a victim of going by a tire shop guys advice and next time when i went, they asked me which fool advised me to go with the tyre they sold me a couple of months ago....😅
I strongly believe that bad tyres (or tyres in bad condition) have a higher chance of killing you than lack of safety features and poor build quality of the car. I am really happy to find this video. One of the best I have seen on this topic.
Thank you for the insightful video; your efforts are truly appreciated. As a passionate Mechanical Engineer with extensive experience in the automotive industry, I resonate with the information shared. Nonetheless, I observed a slight disconnection in the structure and flow of content. I kindly suggest incorporating a more organized approach to the video's content flow, acknowledging that the absence of a script may have contributed to this. Once again, thank you for your valuable insights.
Bro good review but you would have shown the tyre width , radius and side wall with proper inch tape or Vernier calibre like Engineers. It would have given good understanding
Very informative video. One thing that I would like to add more is that in India go for brands which give you the maximum warranty. Tyres come with two types of warranty which are- warranty for manufacturing defects and warranty against impacts like cuts/ buldges'. Continentals, Yokohama and Goodyear give warranty from 1-5 years on tyres on external impacts as well whereas Michelins come with only manufacturing defect warranty. Even if a bulge is formed due lo external import because of the warranty one can get the tyre replaced on a pro-rata and in India if your tyre has a lower side profile go for tyres like Yokohama Earth, Bridgestone Sturdo or Goodyear Max Guard.
@@AdityaSharma-lv8im UC 6 are also very good tyres they are a perfect balance between a hard and soft compound tyre and plus Continental is also offering a 3 Year warranty nowadays.
@NSD_95 What about grand i10 (2017), which tyre size is good - 165/70 R14 or 175/65 R14 and in terms of brand - I was looking at Apollo Amazer 4g Life or Amazer XP or Goodyear Assurance Triplemax 2. Which brand is better in terms of confort, low road noise and grip?
Perfect time you have uploaded the video. I'm about to change the stock tyres of my Polo which was purchased in July 2020 and have clocked 30K on odo. I, being a Tata Motors employee (OEM) have understood from a colleague that stick to OEM certified tyre (brand and size) Reason being is those are tested rigorously before SOB (Supplier On Board) My Polo has came with Goodyear Assurance (195/55 R16) and am planning to stick to the same. What are your views/thoughts?
This guy things very intelligent and yes he is most of the time I was watching this video but the minimum thread limit is 1.6mm as per European standards and also your Michelin brand suggest that aswell! So not necessary to change if it’s 3-3.5mm unless until you can afford it as it’s safe until it reaches 1.6mm of thread depth!! 🇮🇳
great video, brother.. I am planning a tyre upgrade for my Seltos.I want a good ride, less noise. Torn between Michelin energy xm2+ and primacy 4. Whats the prime difference between these two as both are retailing around the same price...thanks a lot
The difference between symmetric and asymmetric tyres is simple. It depends on the groove pattern on the inner half and outer half - whether they are same or different. The patterns are decided mainly with respect to the water evacuation, handling characteristics and noise cancellation. One reason why the blocks are of different sizes is so that the tyre noise generation is spread out over a wider range of frequencies thereby reducing the loudness of the tyre noise at a particular speed. If all blocks were symmetrical you could end up with resonance effect. This there are several technical reasons why tyres are.made asymmetrical.
Extremely valuable video 🔥👍 On a side note I always believed and heard from people that hatchbacks and almost all FWD should have higher PSI in the front than rear to compensate for frontal heaviness in the vehicle and that’s what I’ve seen that the engine transmission, axle etc weigh down the front tyres more. Of course in RWD, ladder on frame its a different story all together. Please correct me if I’m wrong 🙌🏻
Makes sense, especially considering the dive under heavy braking, which increases the load on the front axle that the tyre pressure has to resist. How heavily loaded the vehicle is also matters, as most of the cargo will be in the rear. Also, rear passengers are closer to the rear axle than front passengers are to the front axle.
Steel is cheaper, heavier and looks basic, even with plastic hubcaps. Alloys are more expensive, lighter and come in various designs. If you plan to install an aftermarket wheel, to reduce unsprung mass, choose the lightest wheel that isn't too expensive.

As a person he doesn't like leading a luxurious life and is happy in living a basic lifestyle which requires nothing more than essential stuff, do you know as recent as last year he was still using his 2006 HP i3 Laptop which I had to forcefully replace with a 2023MacBook Air! For the first 20years of his service life he used a Chetak scooter and upon us forcing to get him a car citing safety got a MS800 way back in 1999 and finally near his retirement got a 2010 WagonR which he loves it like his 3rd son and it's my duty to keep his car in top shape.
Whatever I and my elder brother(a businessman along with my maternal uncle and owning cars like Merc GLS450d) are coz of the best of education we recieved only coz dad sacrificed his own pleasures for our future. So I think it's better not to comment on anybody and their choices randomly and making a judgement as more often than not we never know the entire story! Thanks and cheers!
This man has immense knowledge…the most genuine auto channel..keep up the good work❤
This man has half knowledge and no knowledge of tyre construction. Pls avoid such rumours
@@alokdesai4388 so where is the right info ?
Incredibly informative video! It's content at its finest, focusing on the often underrated topic of car tyres. This TH-cam channel has some serious potential. Keep the good work going, appreciate your efforts.
Thanks!
Bro 👊 🙏🙏🙏🙏
Really a goldmine for enthusiasts.. Thanx for the effort guys
Loved the fact explanation why tyres have assymetrical pattern. Another added point is we have greater traction while turning on high speeds.
I am confused about which one is good Asymmetrical or symmetrical?
@@Garry6290asymmetric
That's why rally cars have assymetry tyres
One thing that irritates me the most is people with positive or negative camber driving their cars at triple digit speeds on expressways. those cars are meant to be show cars only. Either keep them on the track or keep them in your garage.
Some older sports car do come with negative camber though..
A small amount of negative camber makes sense for easier turn-in. Refer to Prof. Andrew Marziali’s talk _The Physics of Racing_ for details.
BTW if you know what camber is, you probably don't need to watch this video 😅
the only video on internet you need to watch for tyre selection. thank you to both participants. 🙌🙏
After switching multiple brands, settled with Michelin XM2+ series OEM size.
Just one correction in T-Roc OEM size is 215/55 R17 instead of 50 side profile as you mentioned. In India below 1 crore price no car providing side profile of 50.
They have width 245 or 255 to compensate 50 side profile.
Side profile is in percentage. I prefer to have around 112-113 mm side profile for sedan hatchback & 118-119 mm for suv.
185/60 =111
195/55= 107.25
205/55= 112.75
215/55= 118.25
215/60= 129 (never given in german or honda cars)
Germans and Japanese companies maintaining this side profile in their all cars.
Great knowledge by Munish Ji. Need similar videos on all aspects of automobiles like suspensions, brake disc, brake pads etc. Keep more videos coming Paaji😊
Wonderful information shared... not many people go in such depth.. awesome job done 👌👌
Phenomenal insights on tyres that we were knew. How noise and triple ply is given to give best results
Best DUO in automobile Industry 🚗.❤
Thanks
Thanks ❤️
THANKS A LOT BOTH OF YOU !! HOW ILLITERATE I WAS ABOUT THE CAR TYRES, ABSOLUTELY AMAZINGLY INFORMATIVE VIDIO !! REGARDS !!
For Virtus/Slavia best tyre in the market is MICHELIN PILOT SPORT 4 205/55R16 94W XL L
I am running the same tyre on my Jetta Tdi and man what to say about these tyres…
Are these tyres still available in India now..!??
For kushaq?
@@harshdeep8814
Michelin Primacy 4 ST 205/60 R16 92V for front
Michelin Pilot Sport 4 205/55 R16 94 XL L for rear
I guess you can go for Pirelli Cinturato or Vredestein’s and avoid Yokohama as they have weak sidewalks.. If Michelin’s are available then they are the industry best😀
Does Michelin Pilot Sport come in R16
By far the best technical information on tyres based on Indian roads condition. Thank you for this informative video. One subscriber ❤
Watching the video for 3rd time. Amazing information before I change my car tyres.
What a great insights, gem of a person.
In-depth knowledge and way of sharing it is excellent 🔥🙏
बहुत ज्यादा knowledge मिली. आज दोबारा देखी ये video
Such valuable information on Tyres. Nobody ever told. Thank you very much.🙏🙏🙏🙏
What is the affect of using lower size spare wheel in the front or rear for longer than the recommendation
These are space saver tyres. Obviously not to cruise for long generally…. Its maximum permissible limit is 80kmph
⭐ Brilliant content. Never came across such a reel on tyres! Thanks and All the Best!
Really educative video, leaned a lot of new things. I would like to request to make a video on after how many kms should we recheck our wheel alignment and wheel balancing. And how to maintain/take care of spare tyre.
Thank you for the detailed tyre knowledge sharing. For Skoda Kushaq 16R tyres… company recommendation for fully loaded vehicle is 41 front and 48 rear. This is too high I think but at the same time should I doubt recommended pressure by the company. I am very confused with the same, kindly put some light on the same . I think Skoda should intervene and make amendments. This pressure is mentioned on the sticker that is provided near driver side of the Kushaq.
Tyre pressure depends on the width of the tyres and the weight of the car. Idk about the width of tyres in kushaq but it’s a fairly heavy car especially the 1.5 variant. Weight and tyre pressure are directly proportional and tyre width and pressure are inversely proportional. All I can say is follow the manufacturer’s recommendations.
After a quick google search I got to know that the recommended tyre pressure for kushaq is only 33 psi. The recommended pressure for full load is 38 for front and 46 for rear. As I said, more the weight, more the pressure required.
Btw you can cross check the pressure for your variant as these pressures are pulled off the internet which could be false.
@@danbruh33 Agreed, however the tyre pressure mentioned for fully loaded Kushaq is 41 psi front and 48 rear on the tyre pressure sticker near the drivers door. It is company recommended, however seems bit on a higher side :)
Best video I saw about the basics of tyres. Learned a lot.
Today I bought new tyres for my Škoda Superb. Till now i was driving my car with stock tires which was apollo Aspire 4G with the tyre size 215/55 R17, Who satisfied me. I drove 42000 km with Apollo. I have purchased Continental Ultracontact UC6 with 2 years unconditional warranty. I wanted to buy Michelin tyres, but because they did not come with unconditional warranty, I had to buy Continental tyres.
My other vehicle which is MG ZS EV also has Continental tyres of same size i.e. 215/55 R17. To me, that car gives very good handling but the body size of superb is different, so I put new tyre on it and see the handling. After that i will share my experience
Very informative, thanks to both of you. Sir gave his best to explain each and everything. Loved this video, gave me lot of knowledge.
You have made us understand in detail about Tyres... Wonderful.
I loved the knowledge imparted in this video ❤❤
Perfect podcast topic
Very very informative......gazab gyaan. Sunder and munish keep it up.....pyaare banda ho tusi dono.
I have never seen a better one than this.Highly appreciate.Thanks.a lot.❤😊
fantastic information to say the least. it was eye opening to watch and understand. i have changed my mind about the tyres i was going to replace with.

This man is a powerhouse of knowledge!!!
Sir. You have delivered very good knowledge, those I have been not following till date.Now onwards I'll follow.
Very nice and informative video. Thanks.
Awesome video. Waiting for more knowledge videos like this. Appreciate your work.
Very much good informative video.
This is very much easy understanding as well.
A must watch for all automobile enthusiasts.
very informative... I was looking for this kinda video since months . Thanks
Very good video ... Long and very fruitful discussion with technical knowledge... Thank you Sundar and Manish bhai 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Very good information very much helpful thanks for hard work
Great informative video… there are lot of things which needs more clarity for the benefit of people at large . All Car tyres have TWI (tread wear indicator)marked at six equidistant locations on tyres at tyre shoulder region. The height of the TWI bar is 1.6 mm this is as per CMVR ( central motor vehicle rules). So whenever tyre grooves are worn up to TWI it is time to change to new tyres. ITTAC (Indian tyre Technical advisory committee) specify all the design specifications for all tyres manufactured in India. Can share more specific information if required
Nice info, he knows what he is talking about. Can trust his knowledge.
Best Video on Tyres I have seen on TH-cam.
Great video as always!!
Great video... Very informative, all misconceptions gone.... I am also a victim of going by a tire shop guys advice and next time when i went, they asked me which fool advised me to go with the tyre they sold me a couple of months ago....😅
I strongly believe that bad tyres (or tyres in bad condition) have a higher chance of killing you than lack of safety features and poor build quality of the car. I am really happy to find this video. One of the best I have seen on this topic.
Hats off to this person's knowledge, thank you so much for this video
This is best video on tyres. Thank you so much. You both can make documentary series on Discovery/NG
Excellent video with lots of relevant, precise and unbiased information. Keep it up.
Very informative and knowledgeable video. Please keep on making such videos as much-loved, informative, and helpful
In-depth knowledge and love the way you share it. It's excellent. Very informative.
What is your opinion about Continental tyres?
Best in the market, I have installed on my Renault Captur 21560R17 LX2 series and the performance is mind boggling
❤❤❤ sirji pura confusion durr kar dya aane..🙏🙏🙏🙏
Superb video with great insights and learning
A VW Vento and Taigun owner
Very well information about tyres, Never saw this type of video on TH-cam.👍🙏
Most underrated tyre info video.
There is a small triangle embossed on the sidewall of tyre, near the outer tread wherever the wear indicator is given between the treads.
Thanks for sharing quite valuable information.
Thank you for the insightful video; your efforts are truly appreciated. As a passionate Mechanical Engineer with extensive experience in the automotive industry, I resonate with the information shared. Nonetheless, I observed a slight disconnection in the structure and flow of content. I kindly suggest incorporating a more organized approach to the video's content flow, acknowledging that the absence of a script may have contributed to this. Once again, thank you for your valuable insights.
Brilliant quality of information. Bravo!!!
Bro good review but you would have shown the tyre width , radius and side wall with proper inch tape or Vernier calibre like Engineers. It would have given good understanding
It is very useful video I think no one is discussing about this..! Great Suff ❤ Keep it Up 🎉 Very Very Good Video😁
What's your opinion on good year tyre , also suggest me tyre for tata nexon diesal 2019
Wealth of info!!! Thank you for sharing
Great Information video once again by Munish Ji 👍🏼
Sunderdeepji I really admire the quality content you produce.
Thanks 🙏
Bro hats off to you for your patience to explain in a very easy & simple way to understand.
Thank You Bro 🙏🏼👍🏼
I am impressed by his Know how ,, who much goes in choosing a tires
Sunderdeep Sir very Down To Earth You Also Accepts That You Also Learn Something New From Manish Sir🔥🔥👌👌👌
Very good knowledge for tyres
Very informative video. One thing that I would like to add more is that in India go for brands which give you the maximum warranty. Tyres come with two types of warranty which are- warranty for manufacturing defects and warranty against impacts like cuts/ buldges'. Continentals, Yokohama and Goodyear give warranty from 1-5 years on tyres on external impacts as well whereas Michelins come with only manufacturing defect warranty. Even if a bulge is formed due lo external import because of the warranty one can get the tyre replaced on a pro-rata and in India if your tyre has a lower side profile go for tyres like Yokohama Earth, Bridgestone Sturdo or Goodyear Max Guard.
what about continental uc6
@@AdityaSharma-lv8im UC 6 are also very good tyres they are a perfect balance between a hard and soft compound tyre and plus Continental is also offering a 3 Year warranty nowadays.
@NSD_95 What about grand i10 (2017), which tyre size is good - 165/70 R14 or 175/65 R14 and in terms of brand - I was looking at Apollo Amazer 4g Life or Amazer XP or Goodyear Assurance Triplemax 2.
Which brand is better in terms of confort, low road noise and grip?
Perfect time you have uploaded the video. I'm about to change the stock tyres of my Polo which was purchased in July 2020 and have clocked 30K on odo.
I, being a Tata Motors employee (OEM) have understood from a colleague that stick to OEM certified tyre (brand and size)
Reason being is those are tested rigorously before SOB (Supplier On Board)
My Polo has came with Goodyear Assurance (195/55 R16) and am planning to stick to the same.
What are your views/thoughts?
You can keep the size same but prefer Yokohama Earth 1 please
For verna sx o model 2022 which tyre is best
Fantastic content paaji ⚡⚡💯💯
We need more informative videos like this
This guy things very intelligent and yes he is most of the time I was watching this video but the minimum thread limit is 1.6mm as per European standards and also your Michelin brand suggest that aswell!
So not necessary to change if it’s 3-3.5mm unless until you can afford it as it’s safe until it reaches 1.6mm of thread depth!!
🇮🇳
Plz suggest kon sa tyre brands btaeye 195 55 r15 k liye best hoga ???? Since I hv ford figo sports diesel.
Excellent info.. Nicely done..
Thanks for Good information & very informative video👌👍👏
great video, brother.. I am planning a tyre upgrade for my Seltos.I want a good ride, less noise. Torn between Michelin energy xm2+ and primacy 4. Whats the prime difference between these two as both are retailing around the same price...thanks a lot
Very much informative, thank you so much ❤
Ye to bta Bhai kyon sa tyre loo
This man has some knowledge. Very informative.
hi.. your video is very knowledgeable.. i want to change my swift cng 2016 tyres.. pl help where to get this done in noida
Thank you for making this video 🙏
The difference between symmetric and asymmetric tyres is simple.
It depends on the groove pattern on the inner half and outer half - whether they are same or different. The patterns are decided mainly with respect to the water evacuation, handling characteristics and noise cancellation.
One reason why the blocks are of different sizes is so that the tyre noise generation is spread out over a wider range of frequencies thereby reducing the loudness of the tyre noise at a particular speed. If all blocks were symmetrical you could end up with resonance effect.
This there are several technical reasons why tyres are.made asymmetrical.
the best video on tyres.
Thanks for sharing very good information...❤
great explanation !! Please suggest for good company tyres .
Extremely valuable video 🔥👍 On a side note I always believed and heard from people that hatchbacks and almost all FWD should have higher PSI in the front than rear to compensate for frontal heaviness in the vehicle and that’s what I’ve seen that the engine transmission, axle etc weigh down the front tyres more. Of course in RWD, ladder on frame its a different story all together. Please correct me if I’m wrong 🙌🏻
Makes sense, especially considering the dive under heavy braking, which increases the load on the front axle that the tyre pressure has to resist.
How heavily loaded the vehicle is also matters, as most of the cargo will be in the rear. Also, rear passengers are closer to the rear axle than front passengers are to the front axle.
I have one question ⁉️⁉️
Steel Rims gud or Alloy Rims gud ???? For Vehicle.
Ye sir Very knowledgeable guy 🙏🙏🙏🙏🫡🫡🫡🫡
Steel is cheaper, heavier and looks basic, even with plastic hubcaps. Alloys are more expensive, lighter and come in various designs.
If you plan to install an aftermarket wheel, to reduce unsprung mass, choose the lightest wheel that isn't too expensive.
Thanks Manish ji for clarifying the cold tyre pressure logic. Last time, I checked after a drive and saw 32, but in the night it was 26 psi
Any comments on continental tyres? I really like it in my Octavia. Now planning for a replacement.
This person has discussed it quite well in technical terms
Superb informational video
Should also be pointed about alloy wheel size upgrade or tyre size upgrade
Which is best
