Yeh the UC6 is amazing. My car came with ceat securadrive. It got a sidewall bubble at 22k. Changed to UC6 and the change was mind-blowing. Just yesterday I was driving in the rain at 60-70 not breaking a sweat. Also got turtle wax clearvue rain coating. Can't recommend these enough. Tried to get conti for WagonR and Ignis as well but weren't in stock at my preferred shop, so went with Bridgestone sturdo, they're also good for the price.

Pros: change was mind-blowing
Vehicle: Hyundai i20

The Brezza came with Apollo Alnac 4G tires from the factory. Apollo's were a good set of tires; they had decent grip, road noise wasn't bad, and even at 49,000 kilometers, they had about 5,000 kilometers left. Anyway, I decided to change them since I could see hairline cracks appearing, plus monsoon season here in Kerala means it's better to have a good pair of tires.

Long story short, after extensive research, I got Continental UC6 215/60-16 tires. I paid a total of 34,800 rupees, including four tires, balancing, alignment, and valves. The tires were 8,150 rupees each. I didn't feel a lot of difference in the first 150 kilometers, but after that, I noticed some major differences compared to the Apollos.

* Road trip: These tires stick to the road like leeches. Wet grip is unbelievably good. You can take a turn at 90 kmph on wet highways, and the car won't break a sweat. I never had that kind of confidence before.

* Braking: Stopping power has improved significantly. Both wet and dry grip are excellent.

* Ride quality: Improved by leaps and bounds. Small imperfections on the road are dismissed. Expansion joints on the highways are hardly felt in the cabin.

* Road noise : These tires are silent. At 120 kmph, all you hear is wind and engine noise. 0 noise from the tires. Apollo's use to get loud post 90kmph.

If you are looking for a tire change, i highly recommend Continentals. You would hardly pay 10-15% more then Indian tires but the benefits are significant .

Pros: Wet grip unbelievably good
Vehicle: Suzuki
Mileage: 49000 km

I just went through this with Kryptotals, and although it was tough, it wasn't THAT difficult to get the tire on and seated.

Pros: wheel might be playing nice
Cons: tough to get on

I have owned a lot of new cars over the years but the Continental tires on the Arteon are the worst. I have replaced 3 tires over 3 years due to bulging in the sidewall.

Cons: bulging in sidewall
Vehicle: Volkswagen
