vs
Tires NANKANG or MRF
I recommend MRF ZLX FLR SHEER COMFORT AND LONG LIFE..
Pros: sheer comfort, long life
Nankang AR1’s are absolutely amazing but I wouldn’t recommend driving on them in anything but completely dry weather as they’re basically a road legal semi slick.
Pros: absolutely amazing
Cons: poor in wet weather
I just put on a set of Nankang Greensport Eco Plus 165/60R12. Reviews seem to be all over the place but I've been happy with them so far, including in some recent rain. My area doesn't get snow at all so I can't comment on that.
Pros: good in rain
Cons: untested in snow
I've been buying my nankang tires directly from the EU branch: https://www.nankang.eu/ Fast shipping.
Pros: fast shipping
I tried the Nankang CR-S V2 to see if it’s any good. On the road, noise levels are good for this kind of tire, nothing to complain about. Also, driving normally, it handles rain without having issues. That being said, I don’t know if I can say that they handled my last trackday particularly well.
Once they are up to temp and I figured out the correct pressures, the balance was very neutral and it had immense amounts of grip. My laptimes were fast and consistent. So far, so good.
The day came to an early end though, due to a puncture on the front left tire. I am not sure what was the cause of this, but this is the only tire I ever had where it happened. Maybe it’s just really bad luck, but again, I’ve never had that happen with any other tire I used. Don’t mind the wear on the picture, the tire wore down badly because I did an entire (slow) lap on the flat tire when it happened, all the other tires showed no issues in terms of that.
Pros: good noise, handles rain, immense grip
Cons: prone to punctures, trackday issues
I have had a similar experience, yes that's the procedure. The tire will be sent to MRF'S factor or Lab, from where they will confirm that it's a manufacturing defect not the users problem. They will give you a replacement.
Pros: replacement provided
Cons: manufacturing defect
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
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
Same happened with my mrf ecotred just after 15000 km...got no claim... changed all 4 tyres to bridgestone coz safety is primary
Cons: tire defect, no warranty claim, safety concern
Mileage: 15000 km
My Amaze 2nd gen had same issue , MRF ZVTV was tyre , go to MRF tyres and they will get it changed under warranty
Cons: tire defect, warranty claim
Vehicle:
