In the first instance, you look cool in your new avatar in the profile.

BA (Brand new Alloys) also look good. Tyres stock or an upgrade as well?

If so, damage? any difference in ride quality?

Yep it works The pics are cool   Profile pic is cooler   

Thanks stu, Thanks logan romeo and thanks Vsuprak...Thank you thank you...

Like i had mentioned in my earlier posts, I wanted to upsize. However, (thanks to stu and anand(sai mag wheels owner)) I decided to stick with the existing setup.

* The Alloy wheels size are 6 inches as against the OE rims which are 5.5. However, it fits like a charm. No difference felt what so ever.

* I wanted to buy 5, But then was advised not to, Since the spare is already there which is of the same size. you can consider this option incase you do not upsize.

* It costed me ard 13 k. Since then, I am feeling a slight vibration in the steering over bad roads. Will update the progress.


Peace

Yep, you are right, with same tyres, option of having only four alloys can be considered.

Vibration part not understood if the tyres are stock. Tongue in cheek..is it because of 13K???

have you had them Balanced if yes get them balanced ON the car thats the best way

Hahahahaha.........No logan romeo, Not because of that....

Stu, i did get them balanced, but not ON the car. To add, this happens only on low speeds.

How old is your Logan ? When you get wheel wobble at a low speed it is normaly from a worn Joint on the steering arm (Hope not)
Get someone to waggle the steering wheel while you go under the car and feel all the joints for movement (it will knock in your hand)and also check the wheel nuts are correct You need special wheel nuts for Allu ,s not your old Logan ones !!!

I got it..........Shall give it a shot. The new nuts i got are smaller than the original ones, So they wont fit. I am gonna talk to those guys and see if they have the correct ones........

Adios!!
N

DONT FIT THE LOGAN NUTS !!!! They will cut into the allu
have a look at someone elses Nuts (hahahaha ) I mean on the car
and see if they are also like yours (this topic gets worse haha )
There are special "WHEELNUTS"for the Allus
Hope you get it sorted but they should not Vibrate

Nice sets of wheels there adam!
Get the wheel balancing and alignment done from a good shop, the problem will be solved.

hi all.

my cars stock tyres are gone now at 30,000kms.

i have to go for new set of tyres .... so please help me...

i dont have any technical stuff while purchasing tyres so just mention the make and model and i l go for it..

only condition- they should be noiseless

My suggestion.. Yokohama A.drive. very silent, very comfortable.

this is what all i have to say when i go to purchase the tyres

nothing specific model name ashu

You can consider Michelin too. Try this link:

hi all ,

today i went for tyre upgrade and asked for yokohama a drive tyres but that person simply refused by saying that this tyres do give trouble after some time..(He is very well known to me so i can trust him anyday)

he insisted on bridgestone or continental tyres


what to do now.

Well I'd suggest in that case u go for the Bridgestone. I hear they have good reputation in terms of reliability and popularity. Not to mention performance too.

yeah bridgestone turanza ER 60 seems a good tyre.


the tyre shop owner is taking my stock jk tyres for 2250 per tyre

is it good deal



turanza costs 3000 per piece???

bhaiyo(brothers)

help me fast

tomorrow have to go and do it finally

I don't get it. How is he able to take your tyres for Rs2250/- and offer a new one for Rs3000/-, just a difference of Rs750/-? How many kms has the car run so far on stock tyres?

Ok, checked the above post and it says 30000 kms. If this person is genuine then you could consider buying it.
Are your tryres really worn out?
