Hello to all,
I am using a Grande punto 1.2 8v Emotion.
My car came with **** JK Tyre 165 R/14.
JK Tyres is an Indian brand, and I actually bought this car looking at the brochure (which was a diesel variants) we realized things differ in petrol cars with features, a diesel emoticon would have had, 175 R/14 and Emotion pack the 89 bhp (1.4 16v Petrol) would have had 195 R/15 Apollo Tyres.
6 years later, finally my Tyres were dead, at 46000 km like so dead if I’d drive it above 60kmph it would start bumbing, the steel structure inside probably heated up and would cool down as I drove less than 60kmph.
Today, I am using YOKOHAMA EARTH 1 - 185 R/14, I wanted to buy Michelin because everyone said, yours is a heavy car and Michelin Tyres are like old rough and tough jeans. They did not had the 185 size so I bought Yokohama.
Do you feelGrande punto has more tyre noise than other cars ? I feel it’s because it’s much heavier than others it’s iron sheets are thicker too, and I don’t think they have added a lot of sound proofing material since it’s a budget hatchback.
I enjoy driving, and I feel my cars very well. With everything it’s sound movement etc, and I don’t know if these Tyres have a better grip it’s just the weight that gives me confidence and so less body roll, mine has 182mm ground clearance compared to 192mm of m current fiats in India.
Can anybody share any info about Yokohama Tyres.
Mine appears to be simple passenger Tyres just their walls seem to be very tough even at 10 psi the Tyres appears like they have appropriate pressure.
Or their tyre experiments ?
