Hi,

My Santro XL 2006 model clocked 68000 kms and the OEM Tyres need a replacement. I am confused which brand to buy? Bridgestone or Michelien.

I am planning Tubeless tyres.

Which model should i go for and approx how much would they cost me ?

Thanks

Vikas

The answer of course is Michelin.  There is no need to be confused about this.  Michelin's are almost always going to be more expensive than bridgestore.

Don't get me wrong, Bridgestone are good tires too. But between the above two brands, Michelin wins hands down

Is this the correct tire size for your car 155/70 R13?

Yes thats the correct size and i got myself Bridgestone Turanza. Initially i was skeptical about Michelin or Bridgestone, but after seeing both tyres, i was so sure to get a Bridgestone. The edges are having deep groves and are harder than Michelin. Got it from a Bridgestone Select so got secured of spurious or So called Chasis Tyres And i straight away drove on Chandigarh Delhi Highway and felt the difference
