Tires YOKOHAMA or Sailun
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 run Yokohama V701 225/45 R18 and I'm really happy with them.
Sailung - amžinos, mesos ant jų bus 20 metų.
Advan Fleva goods na yan.
the only "cheap" tire na ok for me is sailun atrezzo r01.
Great tire on my maxima.. as good as the michelins i had on the same car . Half the price. Super smooth and quiet.
I rock new Sailun Atrezzo SH408 tires on my beater car. They work great btw similar to BFG Advantage tires I had before them for less than half the price.
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.
Right now I've got a set of Yok A052s on for autocross. They've served me well for that purpose, but everyone says not to run them on the track or that's the end of those tires. Given the wear I've seen just from one short season of autocross, I believe them.
Yeah, the OEM Avid GT tires are pretty generic. I have them on my 21 Outback. They don't have a lot of tread life. I'm getting close to 36k mark and they are due for replacement.
