Tires SUMITOMO or MRF

We wore out the OEMs at 40k and picked up a set of Sumitomo P03 tires. Extremely happy with them. They're not strictly EV tires so there's some efficiency loss (maybe 5-10%?) but the car is much grippier, especially in wet and slushy conditions. Also, it's just way more comfortable of a ride. Kind of doubt they'll last through the manufacturer warranty of 50k miles but also it was just under $100/tire installed at DiscountTire so I'm not terribly concerned

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.

Falken also makes several tires in that size. Falken are made by Sumitomo and excellent. My Sumitomos last at least 60k and are about $95-120.

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.

These are the common issues in MRF APOLLO AND CEAT.

These kind of bulging cause bursting on high speed.

Usually should have ideally clocked 40K. But MRF is like that. I changed mine only after 20K after side wall cut and moved to YOKOHAMA Geolander H/T.

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.

My car completed 14.8k kms, and I noticed this bulge on the right rear tire. The tires are MRF Ecotred that came with the car. I didn't notice it anytime before so I don't know when did it show up.

Mine was mrf and did not have a good experience. Within 1 month 4k km run tire burst in a simple pot hole with 33 psi air pressure
