Brother according to all ford owners recently continental uc 6 is best tyre, but yes if you are going more on offroad like ladak type roads both tyre wont work well for you, uc6 is best for handling and performance in ecosport, do subscribe channel and press bell icon 🙏💐
I usually travel daily about 60-80 km , from city to rural, and occasionally go for long trip , once or twice a year , but not off road like ladakh, my tyre size 205 60/r16 but my colleague told me that go for 215 60/r16, so again I am confused
@@harishchoudhary1389 brother many upgraded to 215 for better grip reason but brother with that also increased little bit of longer rolling resistance. That may decrease mileage by 1 atleast. So its your choice to go with 205 or 215.
And Does it matter launching date of Tyre, i mean UC 6 was released in 2021 and Yokohama Earth 1 released year ago, And should I choose to buy Yokohama Earth 1, what are the cons compared to UC 6 and pros ?
@@harishchoudhary1389 brother sharing exact details of size increase from expert suggestions hope this will help you : Upsizing your tire from 205/55R17 to 215/60R17 would result in an approximate 3/8" increase in ground clearance. This is generally safe for speeds up to 70 mph, but there are a few factors to consider: The overall diameter of the 215/60R17 tire is about 1% larger than the 205/55R17 tire. This means the speedometer and odometer will read slightly lower than the actual speed and distance traveled. However, the difference is usually negligible at highway speeds. The wider 215/60R17 tire has a slightly larger contact patch, which can improve handling and stability at speed compared to the narrower 205/55R17 tire. However, it's important to ensure the new tires are properly balanced and aligned to avoid any handling issues. The increased sidewall height of the 215/60R17 tire will result in a softer, more compliant ride over bumps and uneven roads. This can help improve comfort and control on rough surfaces. As long as the new tires are the correct load rating for your vehicle, and you don't exceed the maximum speed/load capacity, upsizing to the 215/60R17 configuration should be safe for highway driving up to 70 mph. Just be sure to have the alignment checked after the tire change.
I am confused between Yokohama Earth 1 and Continental UC 6 for my Ecosport, please guide
