Hello fellow enthusiasts,

My GX has gracefully reached its third year, covering 61,000 kilometers on Bridgestone 205/65R16 tires. While two tires are still factory originals, I had to replace the other two at 45,000 kms due to unexpected circumstances. Despite the constraints at that time, I'm now contemplating a change and upgrade for two of my tires.

Being content with the stock Bridgestone tires so far, I'm exploring the option of transitioning to either 215/60R16 (readily available across various brands) or the less common 215/65R16 size. The reason behind considering the 65 aspect is to maintain the existing tire height. Given that 225 width would be a mismatch with the current 205 tires, I'm in a bit of a dilemma.

I'm also open to exploring alternatives to Bridgestone. Any recommendations on tire size and brand would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks and regards,
Bravo

Try Conti UC6 in 215/60/R16 size or the standard 205/65/R16 size. I am using the 215/60/R16 size and they are very comfortable.

I went with Conti UC6 with standard 205/65R16. Can’t really comment on comfort as I have them in rear. Front is still Bridgestone. They are silent is all I can appreciate for now.

Gave my car for the 20 thousand kilometer service. Has been regularly been driven on the highway because of going to Nashik every 14 days for mom's treatment. Its a 2022 GX Crysta Diesel Auto.

The car came back fine with them still not acknowledging the noise from the steering wheel knuckle when adjusted to anything other than low position of the steering, they said its normal. I made the Millennium guy write in the record of the observation by me though.

One more bummber, one of the alloy wheels they balanced had more than 100 grams weight in it, I know from the fact that earlier balance never came up with such high weights, so I took it to my balancing guy whom I always balance from when I have a doubt and same was done at 10000 km too.

The other tyres had some imbalance of 10-20 grams and were rebalanced and corrected but this one alloy wheel took more than 100 grams and still was coming up with residual weights. It was not the balancing machine as all the other's balanced right after adding weights on the check spin.

We tried with a new tyre, but this too turned out to be the same with residual weights coming up. We checked the runout with the naked eye and it had none, rotating just fine.

Don't know why this is happening, the car is just 20000 km run and immaculately maintained with the right tyre pressures. Should a roadforce balancing fix this? Is it okay to have a brand new tyre on the rear axle with another which has run 20000 km, both are of the same brand and model.

Saifee has road force balancing machine as confirmed by Nikhil.

Innova Crysta 2021 model: Planning to change the stock tyres (Apollo Apterra 205/65/R16) in another 5k km. Usage is 75% highway (bad roads) and 25% city drive. Can you pls recommend the best one to go for considering ride comfort and mileage in the order of priority?

My Innova Crysta 2.8Z's tyres are in its last leg. Planning to change it next week. My RM says to stick with either Bridgestone or Yokohama. Shortlisted the following

215/65R16 Yokohama Geolandar A/T G015
215/65R16 Yokohama Geolandar SUV G055
215/65R16 Bridgestone Turanza T001

Which one should I select? My preferences are
1. Comfort
2. Silent
3. Wet/Dry grip
4. Puncture resistance/side wall strength (due to potholes/craters in our roads).

Doesn’t the Crysta Z come with 17-inch wheels? Or did you downsize?

I switched my set a few months ago, and this forum recommended the Continental UC6 tires for improved grip, a quieter ride, and enhanced comfort.

2017 Z model comes with 205/65R16 which was bumped back to 17" after 1 year or so. Ref: https://www.team-bhp.com/forum/tyre-...ml#post4132433 (Toyota Innova Crysta ZX dumps 17" wheels for 16". UPDATE: Back to 17")

I did read the general recommendation, but my RM says to stick to Yoko/Bridgestone, hence the confusion. Add to it, I don't think 215/65R16 is available in UC6 (as per website)

Any disadvantages of using 215/65R16 Yokohama Geolandar A/T G015 in an MUV like Crysta? i too was thinking of Geolander AT during my next change.

Any inputs from the experts would be great!

I've been using this tyre, so don't know the difference. If there are better tyres than A/T G015 in terms of comfort, noise, grip (but with strong sidewall - need to traverse crater filled roads due to the highway construction going on), want to try that. Hence the query. I'm happy with this tyre for MUV, but in Honda City I felt Michelin XM2 had lesser road noise (for the initial 20K kilometers).

Hi Amalji, I drive a 2.8 AT Z. I am planning to switch to 16 inch rims due to the issues with 17. Can you let me know your feedback on UC6 as the SA is pushing me to go for Yoko Earth? Also are the OEM rims good compared to aftermarket ones?

It's excellent. Stick to the stock size on 16 inch ( 205/65 ). I've driven it for around 25,000 kms. Should last for around 15,000 kms more. I already know what I'll look for when it's time to change. It'll again be a UC6 or UC7 ( if it gets released in India by then )

[Splendor]

Thank you. Guessing the OEM rims are serving you well without any issues.

I changed my tires to the same Yokohama Geonalnder AT 215/65R16. Already covered about 1000KMS and I can say that it feels great.
I think after the tires get old (more than 3/4 years), it tends to get hard and you can hear expansion joints. The steering had slight wobble if you cross 100KM (which I do rarely in the roads of Kerala), took the car for wheel alignment where it was found that 2 tires were out of shape. As the tires were more than 5 years old, decided to change all tires even though it had tread for another 5K.

Friends I have a 2019/20 Innova Crysta 2.8 zx, 17" alloys. I want to add wheel spacers of 20 or 25mm, can someone help me with source?
