Tires MRF or OEM Volkswagen

Had the same exact thing at 1 year with MRF Tyre, went to MRF and claimed warranty, they replaced with a new one and took the old one based on tyre tread left and condition. I paid only 2k for a 17 inch tyre.

I have since tuned my GTI and installed summer tires, it has only further cemented my decision. Now the car pulls harder but you still have to work with the car to put the power to ground.

Only I know how I managed to use these tyres for 17000 kms. Got the rear tyre changed with MRF RevZ radials as soon as the tyre wore out and it’s been a huge difference. Leaning on corners has also become way easier now.

Possibly the MRF tyre fitted on R variant has less road noise than the Bridgestone Tyre fitted in the Elevate at the time of launch. If that is the case then it is a good move. There were complaints on road noise on the 2023 Elevate.

they have excellent grip

I had got the same issue and yeah normal mrf dealer said the same thing. Best option is go to the mrf warehouse...in my case it was just a 10 minute process. Then the guy did a quick inspection of the wear and tear. Mine was less than 5 mm so I wasn't charged anything and got a replacement tyre instantly.

I also got it when I was on my trip (3k kms on altroz racer r3). I stopped for alignment and found bubble. The tyre shop referred me to MRF district office. MRF office told me to contact car dealer for letter you just mentioned. While i just communicating for letter, told me.. not needed.. he just checked tyre tread depth, gave me a letter which tells tyre shop to install new tyre, got back to tyre shop, got it installed. Continued trip. Total time : 2 hours.

Same issue on my Taigun. Those mrfs are bad. The showroom and mrf said that it was due to impact damage and refused to replace initially.

My brezza came with MRF Ecotreds as well, I have already gotten 2 sidewall punctures in 28k kms. Had to scrap one tire entirely. So frustrating

I too had a similar experience with MRF ZVTV - it was attributed to external damage and wasn’t covered under warranty. Had to get the tyre replaced.
