Tires Shinko or MRF
Find an MRF FASST service centre if you have around you.
Go there and and get this replaced, they will provide a newly manufactured same tire, and will charge you for tire depriciation of the old one.
Pros: newly manufactured tyre
Cons: tire depriciation charge
Vehicle:
Ford Freestyle
Mileage: 10000 km
Had the same exact thing at 1 year with MRF Tyre, went to MRF and claimed warranty, they replaced with a new one and took the old one based on tyre tread left and condition. I paid only 2k for a 17 inch tyre.
Pros: warranty replaced tyre
Cons: tyre tread condition
I avoided the 805 big blocks because of typically rough and noisy street use. Figured they’d be great offroad. Tried some 705s and they were great street tires but really loose and washy offroad. I’m on the 700s now and I’m really liking them. Closest thing to a 50/50 tire I’ve ever had.
Pros: great street tires
Cons: loose and washy offroad
Only I know how I managed to use these tyres for 17000 kms. Got the rear tyre changed with MRF RevZ radials as soon as the tyre wore out and it’s been a huge difference. Leaning on corners has also become way easier now.
Pros: huge difference, easier leaning
Mileage: 17000 km
Possibly the MRF tyre fitted on R variant has less road noise than the Bridgestone Tyre fitted in the Elevate at the time of launch. If that is the case then it is a good move. There were complaints on road noise on the 2023 Elevate.
Pros: less road noise
Cons: road noise complaints
Vehicle:
Honda
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 issue with my virtus. Got replaced tyre under warranty
Cons: tire defect, warranty claim
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
Happened to my MRF tyres too! A bubble on the sidewall. Had to get the tyres replaced.
Cons: sidewall bubble, required replacement
Vehicle:
Honda City
Same issue on my Taigun. Those mrfs are bad. The showroom and mrf said that it was due to impact damage and refused to replace initially.
Cons: bad quality, warranty refusal
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
My brezza came with MRF Ecotreds as well, I have already gotten 2 sidewall punctures in 28k kms. Had to scrap one tire entirely. So frustrating
Cons: multiple sidewall punctures, tire scrapped
Vehicle:
Suzuki
Mileage: 28000 km
