My usage includes driving mostly in the cities & on highways. I also encounter broken roads occasionally.

I am entering the 6th year of ownership with the car (this May) and looks like I’d need a new set of tyres soon.
Since I plan to retain the car for at least the next 3-4 years, had decided to swap the tyres with a set of Michelins (LTX force) before. But with the import bans in effect now, not sure if that’s possible anymore. The standard Duelers have served quite well, but am keen to try something else.
Inviting alternate suggestions – what other brands can I go for? My usage is mostly highways and cities, with occasionally broken roads. So comfort and grip are the priority, followed by the least road noise.
Here’s what BHPian Kosfactor had to say about the matter:
If I assume that you’d be covering 30K kms in the next 3-4 years, Yokohama Geolandar is a good alternative. They are marketing aggressively and prices are reasonable.
Here’s what BHPian arvindmanju had to say about the matter:
My Storme is currently running on Michelins LTX force (Purchased them before the tyre import ban). It’s a big step up from OEM Bridgestone Duler. Because Michelins are not available, the next best options are the Continental Cross Contact or Yokohama.
My friends, who are Storme users, are very happy with Conti tyres.
Here’s what BHPian black_rider had to say about the matter:
A friend is running 245/70R16 Apollo Apterras on his Storme with OEM alloys. No issues reported in about a couple of thousand kms. Tires don’t touch the wheel wells.
