I would highly recommend Michelin P4ST. They have a great balance between comfort, handling and road noise. If your car comes with the 15” wheels, then 195/60/15 is a good size to go. |

I have to replace Michelin P3ST (15-inch) soon. I wonder what the 3/4 stands for? Will new tyres of the same kind give a more comfortable ride than the old ones? It is fine by me, and I don't think that just tyres (rather than a new car!) can make our pot holes any smoother, which is what my wife wants. She would like a smoother ride. I wouldn't mind a quieter ride. I don't drive the GT TDI anywhere near its limit, but don't want to sacrifice too much grip. Stick with the Michelin? Or something else? |

Yes, Michelin Primacy PS4 is available in the 195/55/16 size. Recently (3 months back) bought for Ciaz. Costed me 7.9k per tyre. I have 3ST in my swift, 4ST in comparison felt little stiff. But it is super grippy and silent as usual :) |

So basically, is it advisable for an enthusiast looking to mod his car to always go pre-owned? Kindly advise. Thanks |

Well looking at the track record of volkswagen and the price of the spares, it is always advisable to have a vehicle with warranty just for the peace of mind. But as you are planning on modifying your vehicle heavily, which would definitely void your warranty there's no point in buying a new vehicle. The money you will save on buying a pre worshipped one will sponsor your modifications as well, just get the vehicle checked thoroughly and look at the service history as well, and prefer a low mileage one. |
