Tires YOKOHAMA or DUNLOP
Ja sam imao Dunlop all season sport, 5g su me sluzile perfektno, sad sam porucio dunlop all season 2 oko 10 soma su.
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.
Last year adac released a list and I bought Dunlop Winter Sport super happy with the results.
I run Yokohama V701 225/45 R18 and I'm really happy with them.
Advan Fleva goods na yan.
Would choose Yokahama any day, Used on Figo. Great Grip on curves even on wet road, Comfort and bit noisy on cement road, Amazing in villages/off roads.
Have yokohama earth1 on my i20, been like ~50k kms and still have enough tread for about 10k kms
So personally can vouch for it, no noise, good comfort and enough grip in it for me to take turns at 70kmph with confidence during rains.
I have 28K miles on mine and they're still okay. I expect I'll get 35-40K out of them.
The worst tier that I have ever purchased. I had these put on my Alfa Romeo Stelvio, The tire noise is horrible, there is a lot of humming noise at high way speed, and it vibrates between 75 - 90 mph, i have done countless balancing and even tested the road force, the steering wheel vibration persists.
I’ve never had the motorcycle Sportmaxx tires but they weren’t that great for the car version lol.
