Tires YOKOHAMA or BRIDGESTONE

Bridgestone blizzaks are my absolute favorite winter tire, tons of traction!

I've been using blizzak tires for over a decade on my front wheel drive car. Best tire out there IMO.

The Bridgestone Blizzack is an excellent winter tire. We’ve tried a few other brands over the years but this was noticeably better, the best one for ice in my experience.

That 3.5L V6 is buttery smooth and powerful — proper sleeper sedan feel.

Cabin’s still super comfy, feels premium even today.

Reliable engine if maintained right, and new Yokohamas are a good sign someone cared.

You’ll definitely stand out — not many V6s left running around.

It drinks fuel like crazy. Expect 5–6 km/l in city, maybe 9 on highways if you drive easy.

Honda never sold too many V6s, so some parts can be pricey or take time to source.

The timing belt change is expensive (₹50–70k job with labour and water pump).

Regular service at a good garage will be around ₹15–20k; authorised service centers will charge more.

VCM (cylinder deactivation) can act up — oil burning or misfires if not maintained properly.

Suspension and mounts wear faster due to weight; replacements are expensive.

Low resale — not many buyers for a thirsty V6, so you’ll have to love it enough to keep it.

Big car in tight cities — parking and ground clearance can be annoying.

Insurance and taxes higher due to engine size (>3L category).

Heat management — some owners complain about heat soak in slow traffic; check radiator and fan condition.

I swear by Blizzacks for snowy winters. Even my old FWD cars handled everything the bumper cleared with ease

I use Bridgestone Blizzak WS90 in 245/40R18. No complaints, fantastic winter tire.

I have Blizzaks and they're fantastic. I picked my buddy up from the airport during a blizzard last winter with them on. We passed 2 cops and about 6 trucks slid off into ditches, along with a few other cars pulled over because they couldn't get traction. I made it there and back without ever feeling like I wasn't in control.

Factory Bridgestone tires are about worn out.

Tires have always been the downfall of the great AWD system they have. Yoko's were the worst!

What I have observed is - when I go beyond 100 kmph, I sense vibrations from the tires. I did not face this while I was on my factory 19" tires (Goodyear tires). This was not a one-time thing, on different road conditions, different temperatures, I felt the same vibrations when the speed goes beyond 100-105 kmph. I think it is because of the tires, I can also sense the vibrations on my steering wheel.
