vs
Tires FEDERAL or MRF
I have used the 595-RSR tires for 8 years now, several sets. yes they are noisy, get worse with miles but I noticed the newest ones were even louder! These tires are the ultimate in grip/handling, one of the few that can put FWD power to the ground. Make my cars handle like its on rails and they don't squeal when pushing to the limit around corners. They are so sticky they pick up all the rocks/debris and throw it up in your wheel wells/rockers. I think they are easily one the best handling tire out there. Very stiff sidewalls, but extremely loud (like louder than winter tires). If you can handle the sound and dont expect a lot of miles out of them, go for it.
Pros: ultimate grip/handling, stiff sidewalls
Cons: very loud, picks up debris
Idk if the showroom guys have control over that because I asked for Apollo and I got MRF. The sales guy told me the bikes get allocated at random.
But coming to the tyre itself I would say the MRFs are good only. Never felt the lack of grip except one time when my tyre was in slushy mud. Appearance wise also the MRF's look a little wider compared to the Apollo's since the tyre profile is more curved in the latter if that matters to you.
Pros: good grip, wider appearance
Cons: lack of grip in mud
Economical and life span, I would recomend mrf wanderer. 6k per tire and will give you 70k+ km life.
Pros: economical, long life
Vehicle:
Suzuki
Mileage: 70000 km
Harder tires like MRF, Ceat, JK etc., will offer good lifetime and low wear and tear.
Pros: good lifetime, low wear
Vehicle:
Suzuki
I have these on my Speed 400. I must say they are pretty good. No comparison to any other road tyre MRF has manufactured so far. They are atleast as good as Apollos if not better.
Pros: pretty good, better than MRF
I've gone through at least 5 sets of 651's over the past 4-5 years of daily driving and autox (07 scion tC & now a 17 BRZ). as a budget tire, really can't complain for learning without breaking the bank.
Pros: budget tire, good learning
Federal 595RS-PRO 275 width - Lower grip levels than RE71 or similar, but they wear like rocks. I am on heat cycle 15 and they have no significant wear. Time deltas for me on a short, technical track are ~1.5-2 secs slower than my other tires, however.
Pros: wear like rocks
Cons: lower grip levels
Vehicle:
BMW
Those tires are the lowest budget-high grip tires you can buy. Can't have everything for free, noise is to be expected with that kind of tire peformance
Pros: high grip
Cons: lowest budget, noisy
Yes , my brother installed these and I was stuck with them but I was glad these wore out in just 30K , happily i replaced them with Yoko now. They are hard as well so it's not comfortable
Pros: wore out quickly
Cons: hard, not comfortable
Mileage: 30000 km
Been using these stock tires for 34k KMs, mostly highway runs, this is my 3rd puncture on these, I never had a single issue on my Amaze tires for 40k KMs, I'm no longer thinking of using it to its fullest and changing it, just want to get a better one ASAP.
Pros: highway runs
Cons: frequent punctures, high road noise
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
Mileage: 34000 km
