Twenty-six car tyres read on 19 September, all of them 165/80 R14, Rs. 2,897 to Rs. 16,748. The sidewall is identical. The prices are not.
We read Flipkart's tyre shelf on 19 September 2026 and pulled out one size: 165/80 R14, what an Alto, WagonR, Celerio or older Swift runs on. Fifty-nine listings matched, and they span Rs. 2,897 to Rs. 16,748 for a part whose size, load index and speed rating are moulded into the sidewall. Four of them publish the identical Apollo title at one, two, three and four times the base price without stating a quantity - and one crosses out Rs. 40,000.
Every price below was pulled from Flipkart on September 19, 2026 and checked against the MRP on the listing. Stack them with the live codes on our Flipkart coupons page, which the deals desk re-verifies daily.
Every tyre on this page is 165/80 R14 - the Alto, WagonR, Celerio and older Swift size. The cheapest seven listings run Rs. 2,897 to Rs. 3,845, and two of them are the same Goodyear Kelly pattern that appears later at Rs. 5,842.
Rs. 2,897 for a Goodyear Kelly VFM 3 in 165/80 R14 85T - the cheapest listing of this size in the whole read.
Why it earned its spot The lowest price anywhere in this size, from a Goodyear-owned budget label, on 179 ratings.
Rs. 2,938 for a JK Tyre Taximax 85 S - Rs. 41 above the floor, with 1,091 ratings behind it.
Why it earned its spot The best-evidenced tyre under Rs. 3,000 here, and the single easiest buy on the page.
Rs. 3,043 for a Goodyear Kelly VFM3 against a stated Rs. 4,999 - the same tyre another listing crosses out at Rs. 40,000.
Why it earned its spot The honest copy of a tyre that appears again later on this page at Rs. 5,842.
Rs. 3,486 for a CEAT Fuelsmarrt 85T - a low-rolling-resistance pattern at a 24 per cent badge.
Why it earned its spot A named fuel-economy pattern from an Indian manufacturer, with a restrained discount claim.
Rs. 3,554 for JK Tyre's Taximax in an all-side tubeless listing - 4.4 from 480 ratings.

Rs. 3,812 for a CEAT Securadrive 85S - the unfitted listing whose doorstep-installation twin costs Rs. 4,101.

Rs. 3,845 for a JK Tyre UX Royale 85T - Rs. 161 less than the same tyre listed with doorstep fitting.
Why it earned its spot The second fitting pair on this page, and the cheapest fitting charge in the read.
MRF, Apollo, Goodyear, Continental, Bridgestone and Yokohama in the same size. This is where the badges collapse to 12, 16, 18 and 21 per cent - a manufacturer whose own shops publish a price cannot cross out a fictional one.
Rs. 4,071 for an Apollo Amazer 4G Life 85T - the cheapest of four listings with the identical title.
Why it earned its spot The base of a four-step ladder that runs to Rs. 16,381 with no stated difference.
Rs. 4,150 for a Goodyear Assurance Maxguard 85H - an H-rated tyre at a 48 per cent badge, with no published rating.
Why it earned its spot The only H-rated tyre in the cheap half of this page.
Rs. 4,178 for an MRF ZVTV - a 16 per cent badge, the second-mildest claim on this page.

Why it earned its spot Rs. 256 less than the other Ecotred listing in the same size, with a smaller badge.
Rs. 4,295 for an MRF ZTX 85T at 12 per cent off - the mildest discount claim in this read, on 117 ratings.
Why it earned its spot A twelve per cent claim from the biggest manufacturer in the country is what an honest ceiling looks like.
Rs. 4,387 for a Continental ComfortContact CC6 - and only two people have rated the listing.
Why it earned its spot The cheapest Continental in this size, with almost no published feedback.
Rs. 4,492 for a Continental UltraContact UC6 85H - the unfitted half of the page's dearest fitting pair.

Rs. 4,510 for an MRF Ecotred 85T against a stated Rs. 7,999 - a 44 per cent badge on the dearer of two identical listings.
Why it earned its spot Seated as the direct comparison: same tyre as the Rs. 4,254 card, bigger badge, higher price.
Rs. 4,750 for a Bridgestone Sturdo - 4.5 from 69 ratings, the highest average on the page.
Why it earned its spot The best-rated listing in the read, from the brand that charges most for this size.
Rs. 5,160 for a Yokohama Earth-1 - the dearest single tyre here that carries a believable stated MRP.

Thirty-one listings in this pull carry doorstep installation. Set against their own unfitted twins, the fitting charge runs from Rs. 88 to Rs. 425 for identical work - and the fitted listings advertise a smaller discount at a higher price.
Rs. 4,101 for the CEAT Securadrive with doorstep installation - the same tyre as the Rs. 3,812 listing, fitted at your address.
Why it earned its spot The clearest price on fitting available anywhere on this shelf: Rs. 289.
Rs. 4,917 for a Continental UC6 with doorstep installation - Rs. 425 over the same tyre unfitted.
Why it earned its spot The same H-rated tyre as the Rs. 4,492 card, with the most expensive fitting on the page.
Above Rs. 5,000 this size stops making sense. One listing crosses out Rs. 40,000. Four share a title at Rs. 4,071, Rs. 7,924, Rs. 12,529 and Rs. 16,381 and none states a quantity. One listing - exactly one - says 'set of 2'.
Rs. 5,842 for a Goodyear Kelly VFM3 against a stated MRP of Rs. 40,000 - the same tyre another listing sells at Rs. 3,043.
Why it earned its spot The largest discount badge in the read, attached to the dearer copy of a tyre seated earlier at Rs. 3,043.
Rs. 3,987 for a CEAT Milaze X3 against a stated Rs. 15,999 - while CEAT's own Milaze listings here cross out Rs. 4,842.
Why it earned its spot The second-largest badge on the page, for a tyre whose sibling listings state a third of the ceiling.
Rs. 7,924 for an Apollo Amazer 4G Life - 1.95 times the Rs. 4,071 listing, with a rating count within three of it.
Why it earned its spot The second rung of the ladder, and the clearest evidence that these listings share one pool of reviews.
Rs. 8,832 for an MRF ZTX-A1 set of two - Rs. 4,416 a tyre, and the title says so.
Why it earned its spot The only multi-tyre listing on this page that declares how many tyres you get.
Rs. 12,529 for an Apollo Amazer 4G Life - 3.08 times the Rs. 4,071 listing of the same title, on 35 ratings.
Why it earned its spot The third rung, and the one with almost no feedback attached.
Rs. 16,381 for an Apollo Amazer 4G Life - 4.02 times the cheapest listing of the same title, and it still does not say how many.
Why it earned its spot The top of the ladder and the single most confusing listing in the read.
Rs. 16,748 for a CEAT Milaze X5 - the highest price in this size, on a stated MRP of Rs. 21,600 and no rating at all.
Why it earned its spot The ceiling of the read, with a stated MRP that is internally consistent and a price that is not.
First: read your own sidewall and search that exact string. A tyre that fits is one that matches the size, the load index and the speed rating printed on the tyre you are replacing - 165/80 R14 85T on most of the cars this page fits. Nothing else about the listing matters if that string is wrong. Second: sort by price, never by discount. On this page the largest badge, 85 per cent, belongs to a listing selling the same Goodyear Kelly that another listing sells for Rs. 2,799 less with a 39 per cent badge; the smallest badge, 12 per cent, belongs to the MRF ZTX we would actually buy. Third: check the quantity before you pay. Four Apollo listings here run to four times the base price with no count anywhere on the page, so if a tyre looks suspiciously dear, ask the seller how many are in the box - and prefer listings like the MRF ZTX-A1 that put "set of 2" in the title. Fourth: compare the doorstep-installation listing against its plain twin before you decide. Fitting costs Rs. 88 through one seller and Rs. 425 through another for the same twenty minutes of work, and both are competitive with a local fitter if it saves you driving on a worn tyre.

A tyre is the most standardised thing sold on this marketplace. The size, load index and speed rating are moulded into the sidewall, so two tyres carrying 165/80 R14 85T fit the same car and carry the same weight at the same speed. That makes a like-for-like price comparison possible here in a way it is not on, say, a shirt. Our three searches returned 191 unique listings with a price and a stated MRP; 59 of them were this size, and the 26 seated here are drawn from those 59. Tyres in other sizes, and two-wheeler tyres, are excluded even where they were cheaper.
Badges across this size run from 5 to 85 per cent and they track the seller's nerve, not the buyer's saving. The same Goodyear Kelly VFM3 crosses out Rs. 4,999 in one listing and Rs. 40,000 in another; the same CEAT Milaze X3 crosses out Rs. 4,842 and Rs. 15,999 at prices Rs. 112 apart. Meanwhile MRF, whose dealers are in every town, claims 12 and 16 per cent. The rule that emerges is worth carrying to any shelf: the brands with shops print believable ceilings, and the biggest badge on a page usually belongs to the dearer copy of something you can buy cheaper elsewhere on the same page.
Four listings here publish the identical Apollo title at Rs. 4,071, Rs. 7,924, Rs. 12,529 and Rs. 16,381 - within a few per cent of one, two, three and four times the base price. We opened each product page: Flipkart's specification table publishes no quantity field for any of them, so there is no way for a shopper to tell a four-pack from a single tyre at four times the price. Exactly one listing in this read states its count in the title - an MRF ZTX-A1 'set of 2' at Rs. 8,832, which is Rs. 4,416 a tyre. Where the count is unstated we say so on the card and we do not guess.
Thirty-one of the 191 listings carry doorstep installation, usually alongside an otherwise identical plain listing from the same seller. Setting each fitted listing against its twin gives the fitting charge directly: Rs. 88 on an MRF Ecotred, Rs. 161 on a JK UX Royale, Rs. 289 on a CEAT Securadrive, Rs. 425 on a Continental UltraContact. The work is the same in all four cases. The fitted listings also carry a median badge of 16 per cent against 39 per cent for the plain ones, so the discount display moves in the opposite direction to the price.
Tyre listings are thinly rated. Seven cards here carry fewer than 50 ratings - 2, 4, 7, 8, 32, 35 and 40 - and none of them shows a rating pill; the count is stated in the card text instead. Six more listings publish no rating and no count at all, which their cards say plainly. Where a count is large we say how large, because on a tyre the only published proxy for the thing you care about - how it behaves at 30,000 km - is how many people came back to rate it. The largest samples seated here are 1,104, 1,091, 586 and 583, and three of those four are attached to listings of the same Apollo tyre.
On our 19 September read the MRF ZTX at Rs. 4,295 is the soundest buy: 4.3 from 117 ratings, the largest dealer network in India behind it, and a 12 per cent discount claim - the smallest on the page, which is what an honest stated MRP looks like. If the budget is tighter, the JK Tyre Taximax at Rs. 2,938 has 1,091 ratings at 4.3, though it is a hard commercial compound built for taxis. If you want the best average, the Bridgestone Sturdo at Rs. 4,750 shows 4.5 from 69 ratings.
Because the listings do not state how many tyres they are selling. Four listings in our read publish the identical Apollo Amazer 4G Life title in the identical size at Rs. 4,071, Rs. 7,924, Rs. 12,529 and Rs. 16,381 - within a few per cent of one, two, three and four times the base price. We opened all four product pages and Flipkart's specification table publishes no quantity field on any of them. The most likely explanation is that the dearer rungs are multi-tyre packs, but nothing published on the listings confirms it, so ask the seller before ordering.
Not on this shelf. The 85 per cent badge in our read belongs to a Goodyear Kelly VFM3 at Rs. 5,842 that crosses out Rs. 40,000 - a figure no 165/80 R14 passenger tyre has ever carried - while the same tyre appears on the same page at Rs. 3,043 with a 39 per cent badge. Across this size the badges run from 5 to 85 per cent and the mildest belong to MRF, Continental and Yokohama, whose own dealers publish real prices. Sort by price, then check the rating count.
Between Rs. 88 and Rs. 425, depending on the seller rather than on the work. Thirty-one listings in our pull carried doorstep installation, and comparing each with its otherwise identical plain twin gives the charge directly: Rs. 88 on an MRF Ecotred, Rs. 161 on a JK UX Royale, Rs. 289 on a CEAT Securadrive and Rs. 425 on a Continental UltraContact. A local fitter typically charges Rs. 150 to Rs. 400 to mount and balance one wheel, so the fitted listings are competitive - but check the plain twin's price first.
One hundred and sixty-five is the tread width in millimetres. Eighty is the aspect ratio - the sidewall height as a percentage of that width, so 132 mm here. R means radial construction and 14 is the wheel diameter in inches. The 85 is the load index, about 515 kg per tyre, and T is the speed rating, 190 km/h. Your replacement should match all of it; one listing on this page is an 85H, rated to 210 km/h, which is a higher rating and safe to fit. Going below the original load index or speed rating is not.
