Tires PHANTOM or MRF

I had Bridgestone B250 165/80 R14 as stock on my Ritz 2011, those were very bad at braking performance, and didn\u2019t provide any kind of comfort at all, even the underbody touched a few speed breakers when the car was fully loaded. But then I switched to MRF ZLX 185/70 R14 tyres and those were in a league of their own, great braking, comfort and much less body roll.

Same in my Nexon, so far the tyres have been good. One tyre had a sidewall puncture after 28k kms. Replaced it with the same. The rest of them are running without zero punctures in 37.6k kms, and have seen all kinds of terrains. I'm quite satisfied with the performance.

Hey guys, Thanks to you guys, I got it checked on time through MRF FAAST and got a replacement for less than half the price of new tyre.

Find an MRF FASST service centre if you have around you.

Go there and and get this replaced, they will provide a newly manufactured same tire, and will charge you for tire depriciation of the old one.

Some tires are made in China and some possibly(?) better ones are made Vietnam, while made in Korea tires usually aren't bad, but may not last as long as expensive tires. For safety, I wouldn't go too cheap on tires. Many cheap tires have rather poor traction when new and become unsafe with only a few miles of wear on them. The Chinese tires often are made of very hard rubber, which might wear well, but has poor traction. There may be some in between tires made in the Philippines, but I'd avoid them. Kumho is a Korean tire company with majority Chinese ownership by a Chinese tire company. They make Phantom tires, likely in China, but even in Korea, they would be the low end. Hankook tires are "better" Korean tires. Not the best, but seem safer. I'd check tire reviews on the Internet.

They’re good for me since my car has camber and will just destroy the tires anyways

Grip will be more than fine. Nice soft compound. Performance will be lovely. At first. They will not last. Structural failures before tread is used up, are common. But new is better than old, so if that's what you can afford, go for it.

MRF is worst had same issue. They have lot's and lots of criteria my tyre had tread but still got rejected saying tyre had puncture. So can't replace it.

I burst my Elevate tyre due to my mistake (side wall damage), only 3k KMs on the odometer. MRF rejected the claim but Honda provided new tyre for free as a part of goodwill warranty.

Same happened with my mrf ecotred just after 15000 km...got no claim... changed all 4 tyres to bridgestone coz safety is primary
