A LUV Story - Maruti Suzuki Ertiga
- Thread Starter MrRanger
- Start date
I have seen some discussions on negative camber setup in Ertiga rear wheels (not able to recollect which forum it was) and potential impact on the tyre life. On visual inspection I also felt rear wheels are slightly tilted. However, my Ertiga has done only around 10k kms and it could be little early to notice tyre wear. How much has your car run? Can you post some pictures if possible.

This was purely unexpected, if I know about the road I wouldn't have gone there.
Roads were not so easy, in one point My dolphin was playing a swing with only right front and rear left wheel on ground, and left side was deep slope my friend got scared.
a slow push vehicle regained the control and then cleared so many very steep and narrow roads.
to be frank I was not that happy and excited as with SAFARI while doing off-roads, I always concerned about under body of my car.
but for the given weight the torque produced by the fiat motor is very sufficient and you get nice feeling when turbo kicks.

that was my 1st time to the place we had been to, I asked directions to some guy he showed me that way and endup doing off-road since there is no way we can turn back. ![[clap]](https://www.theautomotiveindia.com/forums/images/smilies/Clap.gif "Clap [clap]")

yes buddy but I'm not finding any good deal yet, quoting price for current tyres is very low, so I'm holding myself.
Difficult to get it exchanged once you cross 100 - 200kms. I got it exchanged in first 100kms and got a good deal. I had paid 11K for 4 Michelin Primacy 195 60R15 tyres in exchange of Good year Duraplus tyres. Retained the spare tyre as-is, like I did in my previous car.
When I sold my Verna after ~5 years, buyer was surprised to see unused spare tyre in the boot. I think there was only one small puncture in whole 1,10,000kms which I fixed at a tyre place without switching the spare tyre.

oh my god, nice.
why did you retain spare wheel, what is the size of spare wheel is that same right?
I want to change tyre size itself buddy, so I'm not sure whether I'm going to change with r16 or retain company fitted size so still in confusion.

2 reasons:
1. I somehow find it more convenient to rotate 4 tyres than 5.
2. Didn't want to spend another 3K for spare tyre (since I generally prefer rotation among 4 tyres)
