Reviews
Over the last 2200 miles (3540km) since I put my snows on, I've averaged 26.4mpg, or 8.9l/100km. At least half of those miles are in decent storms. I don't know how people get such horrible mileage in these cars- mine gets better than any previous Subaru I've owned, while going a hell of a lot faster.
Pros: better than previous Subaru
Cons: horrible mileage for others
Vehicle:
Subaru
Mileage: 3540 km
I have a Subaru with new snow-rated tires. That doesn't mean it's true for every other driver on the road.
Pros: new snow-rated tires
Vehicle:
Subaru
Well I have a 24 Limited with the 20s and live 2 miles up a dirt road. The tires are fine to me. I have an outback and tundra with 18s and don't notice much difference.
Pros: tires are fine
Cons: dust pools in door wells
Vehicle:
Subaru
My Chrysler 300S 5.7 does shockingly well in medium snow. Blizzard conditions are not acceptable for that car, so give me a Subaru Legacy GT Limited Spec B with Blizzaks
Pros: shockingly well in snow
Cons: not for blizzard
Vehicle:
Subaru Legacy
We had a similar situation with kia ev. The left front tyre at night got punctured (sharp cut, we suspect it was due to impact of the pothole) due to a massive pothole in National highway that was invisible at night. The tyre went flat in 5 seconds.

Last week I got a flat tyre on my back from the office and found that this tyre on my 2-month-old Suzuki Fronx (Aug 2025 model) is no more usable. Found a chipped off thread grip on the driver's side tyre, which resulted in low pressure. Due to driving at that pressure, the side liner developed cracks, losing its pressure holding capacity. Commonly, it is a clear case of prolonged low-pressure driving. However, in my case, since the tyre always looked low on pressure, I made sure to check the tyre pressure at every gas station while refueling. Now I am running on a spare tyre and wondering if I should go for the same tyre (MRF Wanderer 195/60 R16) or another brand.
Pros: tyre looked low on pressure
Cons: chipped off thread grip, side liner cracks
Vehicle:
Suzuki
The fucking console rattles like a mother fucker. The stock tires are pieces of shit. The clutch pedal will make noise when it is cold because they used shitty spot welds on the pedal assembly. The ac compressor will probably fail within 50k miles.
Cons: console rattles, stock tires shit

Mileage: 80467 km
My MRF tyre bursted too in rain on a pothole about the height of 10 cm. MRF Quality is dogshit
Cons: dogshit quality
Vehicle:

I'll steer clear of mrf. You have much better options out there. Their wet grip is horrible
Pros: better options out there
Cons: wet grip is horrible
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.
Cons: worst quality, warranty rejected
