Changed ride shoes to yokohama advan db

[arfanali]

Aslamo Alakum to all.

I have just changed my tires from euro star to Yokohama Advan Db 185x65x15 in honda city-2016; it looks very soft and noiseless, ride is bit comfortable from earlier tires. Let us c how it goes on.
first i was confused between Dunlop R1, Mitchelin and Yokohama. In the end as per advise of shopkeeper goes to Yokohama Advan Db.
Pls. share your experience about tires and update it is right choice.

What was the price?

[arfanali]

29k for 4 tires.

[suhaibayaz]

That is a very good price mate, I was quoted 8,200/- per tyre, your rate comes to 7,250/-

If you are Lahore based, kindly share name and address of dealer you had your tyres changed from.

[arfanali]

Now its Fsd. Circula Road, with dealer name City tyres.

Very good rate indeed. How did you make sure the tires were genuine and fresh as there are many stories on these forums of getting counterfeit items.

[arfanali]

its packaging, manufacturing date on tyres. tyre marking. more importantly reliable person, purchasing from him last 10 yrs.

One Question, i want to ask from tier experts, when i purchaed yokohama tiers, there was no hologram sticker pasted on wrapping, shopkeeper said hologram sticker is pasted by ourselfs, we yet have not pasted it.
Pls. update is it Okey , original tiers, that packaging without hologram sticker and without warranty sticker on wrapping.

Michelin is more softer and noiseless and even car grips well..
Will you believe I bought that tyres back in 2012 and till date they are good and these tyres haven driven about 100K kms and I'm surprised with them...
Even the fuel efficiency of car also increased with these tyres not more but +1km..
Bought yokohama advan db last year in February
They are also soft and noiseless but Michelin are more softer and noiseless with better grip..
I've so far used advan b for 65K and I think I'll need a replacement in 5k kms
The shop keeper said me you will forget Michelin after using yokohama advan db but I seriously regret now..

[pwuser148440473555]

No bro I'll soon replacing yokohama with Michelin....
In performance almost both are same just Michelin has a slight dominance because of softness, lightweightness and better grip.
In lifespan
Michelin all the way
My brother bought Michelin XM2 energysaver for his GLI last week 8K for each tyre 2016 manufactured
And when I bought Michelin way back in 2012 it cost 36K for 4 tyres...

OK cool. Good for you.

Good move. You will also have slightly better road clearance which will help to cross speed bumps in our streets.
