vs
Tires MRF or OEM Subaru
Reviews
Budget for snow tires. AWD is not magic, and you generally can't use chains with AWD systems. In terms of cars, Subarus are good and reliable. I've owned two Foresters.
Pros: good and reliable
Vehicle:
Subaru Forester
With snow tires on my accord I was more successful than many Subaru owners who were stuck in the ditch.
Pros: successful in snow
Vehicle:
Honda Accord
I also use MRF tyres and mine are running solid for 4+ years. I had 2-3 pinhole punctures which were all repaired eith that mushroom like thing.
Pros: running solid, long lifespan
Cons: minor punctures
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.
Pros: great braking, comfort
Cons: bad braking performance
Vehicle:
Suzuki
I drive a 2018 Subaru Crosstrek, at almost 100k miles and basically no issues outside of tire maintenance. Subaru AWD is top tier as well
Pros: top tier AWD, no issues
Vehicle:
Subaru
Mileage: 160934 km
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.
Pros: quick replacement
Cons: tire defect
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.
Cons: tire defect, warranty rejected
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.
Cons: tire bulge, quality issue
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
Mileage: 14800 km
Tires not lasting. Needed to replace them at 12k miles and I’m not super hard on the car
Cons: tires not lasting, early replacement
Vehicle:
Subaru
Mileage: 12000 km
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
Pros: null
Cons: tire burst in pothole
Mileage: 4000 km
