Best tyres for Logan Diesel

MRF ZLO tyres after 6000kms, tyres are soft and the grip is excellent compared to OEM vectra, the noise is very low even negligible, the control and cornering is very good

I use Yokohama A drive and happy with the tyres. Soft tyres, but excellent on wet roads, low tyre noise,good grip as well. 

I have a question, the manufacturer calls for 28 psi to be maintained, i maintain 30 psi so as to counter the air expansion  on long routes, will inflating it to 32 be a cause of concern when the air expands and given to poor conditions of our roads. I mean when a hot tyre rolls over a pot hole ridden holes would it not be dangerous? 

Just asking and no intention of challenging any post above as it is purely a personal choice, but ask in the interest of safety.

My Verito D6 has done 52K and has been giving a bumpy ride since last month. I thought the 50K servicing will fix the issue, but it has not. It seems the tyres have lived their life and it is time to change. 

After reading this thread I conclude that the top 3 recommendations from the forum are :- 
1. Bridgestone Turanza ER60
2. Yokohama A
3. MRF ZLO

Anybody got an experience with Michelin XM2 ? They seem to be the most popular ones in the current lot. 

I drive 90 km/day of which 70 km is a cement road. I have heard that the cement road is a tyre's greatest enemy. In this context, should I be purchasing tyres with a "hard" material ? All the above recommendations seem to be "soft" ones.

IMO, all the top brands will be good enough w.r.t. ride quality, noise etc. So I am not concerned about these aspects. I want something that can tackle the harshness of the cement roads. I wont mind spending a few thousands more to get the peace of mind. 

Please suggest.

Hi Sachin P, my personal experience with Yokohama A drive has been excellent till date, now they are 4 years old and time to have them replaced with Yokohama again, these are good tyres but the rubber is soft for India road conditions, that does not mean that they puncture every now and then but the probability is slightly high as compared to Bridgestone or MRF. A drive provides excellent wet surface gripping and the vehicle feels more stable , good grip while breaking as well. Bridgestone /  MRF are harder tyres and last long, taxi folks use them to save costs as theirs is the vehicle which is on the move, now reading about the KM that you drive in a day, please take a call.
 
The acid test of the tire will be at places like Leh and Ladakh region where the tyre gets abused badly. On such terrain, Bridgestone will hold good. I have a friend in another driving forum, where he used Michelin XM1 when it was launched and drove to Ladakh , he was happy, no punctures , less tyre noise while on the high ways
 

Hence take a call accordingly. 

@sidtalgeri, Thank you for the response.

Hi Sidtalgeri,
Over the 4 years of your A-Drive, how many kilometers has it covered?

Recently i have changed tyres to bridgestine ER60, Now i am enjoying light Steering and more control on road. also notice break are now more efffective.
