I think Michelin should have used same car same variant same fuel type same oem alloys to keep the variables to an absolute minimum

[@RavirajSamant]

6:04 Suddenly a wild cow moos

[@rohanrayakar2257]

A good way to compare would be to keep the car the same and swap tyres and then perform the test with all related parameters measured. Reason being that you never know whether there were any changes done with the suspension / brake calibration or have changed the weight of the vehicle for the purpose of marketing.

[@LeGoat006]

Either way, Bridgestone is still better. Same result. 😂😂😂

The bridgestone swift have advantage as it's tuned for 14inch rims, it's speedo shows 100kmph if the car is at 90kmph. Swift VDi tyer size 165/60 r14, the tyre they put is 185/65 r14, this tyre size is perfect for 15inch variant and gives the bridgestone swift advantage.

[@shaktisehrawat7479]

@@BullRides it's 165/80 for 14 inches. Where did you get that information from? Overall diameter is always kept within 2% margin in all cars. And who told you it shows 100kmph when it's 90 in real? It's round 10% difference. No car manufacturer does that. Also it's 185/65 R15 in top model and 185/70r14 in lower variants which is logical upgrade from stock 165/80r14.

[@anandkothari9616]

The fact that Michelin was Factory worn out and Bridgestone was worn in regular use means Bridgestone tyre was OLDER which might affect the grip!

[@karthiks1713]

Yeah exactly,and they say that xm2 + as factory worn out,so obviously it would have been a newer rubber, it's not balanced

There is another variable here. Swift has a larger brake booster in the Z variants and that can make a lot of difference.

Le Tyre contact area: why are u not even considering me...

[@shubhamkale1992]

Please don't take me wrong Just wanted to correct you. Friction does not depend on contact area Even a cycle tyre with same rubber and pressure can stop the car with same distance Only matter with width of tyre is turning,cornering, stability etc

[@shivapadmanaban467]

Yes contact area isnt a factor for friction..its weight, surface texture and material

[@rahulgogoi8335]

Friction DOES depend on contact area...why wld it help in cornering if it does not increase friction?? Why do u think fatter tyres return less fuel efficiency thn slim ones?? But yes, in case of motorcycle tyres as they are round, a fatter tyre hardly translates into more contact area...

This is the 3rd gen. And between two swifts, there wouldn't be any difference with the brakes, that im sure of but there might be a slight change in the suspension setup. But it wouldn't have add up to 4 metres of braking distance between the two tyres.

[@parikshitpathak4535]

ZDI always have a better DISC and brake/piston setup than VDI and LDI for Swift. Hence Michelin is cheating by choosing ZDI for them and VDI for Bridgestone.

It would have been more convincing if Michelin had used cars belonging to the same variant. ZDi variant is heavier than the VDi variant, which would have worked against the Michelin tyres actually but the fact that Faisal felt that the Michelin tyres performed better than the Bridgestones says a lot about Michelin tyres.
