Are tubeless tyres popular?

I am planning to change the tyres of my Santro from Tube Type to Tubeless on stock steel rims. but one of the rims is a little bent and I am looking for some shop who has rim straightening machine....and unfortunately I have not found any in Gurgaon as yet.. I dont want the rims to be hammered.

I have finalized ER60 though. Just wish to know if BS Turanza ER60 is better than XM1+ on Indian roads.

Also, I was quoted BS TuranzaER60 for INR 2900/tyre by 3 dealers but one dealer quoted INR 3550. When I asked the reason for that high price, he said he has tyres Made in India whereas 2900 ones are Made in Thailand. When I enquired the same thing with the dealer who quoted me 2900, he said that he quoted me 2900 for Made in India tyre only. So, it has led me to confusion as to why so much difference even if both are Made in India.

I called up Bridgestone regional office and they said Made in India are better as they are made keeping Indian Road conditions in mind.

Any suggestions as to what is actually the price of ER60 "Made in India".

Also, if anyone can suggest some shop in Delhi/Gurgaon which has Rim Straightening machine.

Finally got Micheline XM1+ for 3100 per tyre for my Santro. Don't know if I got is costlier as dealer had quoted 3200 per tyre. Now I got it for 3100 including the valve, alignment and balancing.
