Tires TIGAR or MRF
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.
Economical and life span, I would recomend mrf wanderer. 6k per tire and will give you 70k+ km life.
Harder tires like MRF, Ceat, JK etc., will offer good lifetime and low wear and tear.
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.
I recommend mrf zlx for sheer comfort and long life
Mines are Tigar Tires which are owned by Michelin, for both winter and summer. Maybe the best quality=price choice in my country.
I got a set of winter tires from them, at first they were perfect but 3 of them lost the shape (they were not perfectly round) just after 1 year and 30k KM and car started shaking progressively. They were on the car all the time and actively driven on. So it wasn't user error, the car did not sit in the same place more than 4-5 days in a row. It was just poor build quality.
I have beef with MRF, their compound is so hard it makes it seem like I am on roller skates in a wet skating ring when it’s raining.
Won’t buy MRFs though because they will absolutely get you killed if you push the bike a little bit more than average.
