Tires Vredestein 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.
Loving my Vredestein Hitracs. Feel great, super quiet and cushy, but still really grippy and confidence-inducing in the rain or in corners.
Vredenstein. Have Quatrac Pros on my V60 PE and they’re better than Michelin all seasons I’ve used.
I have Vredestein QUATRAC PRO XL 98Y on my V60, really like them so far
After looking on tire rack and having some more conversations with my shop I’m going to go with the Verdestein Quatrac Pro’s slightly lower scores in some of the categories than the CrossClimates but still look like a highly rated tire and gonna save me close to $300
I've bought a set of quatrac 5 vredesteins for my X5 ... 2.5/3 years ago ... about halfway worn after 25k miles.
To be honest, in the dry ... easy to reach and surpass the adhesion limit at moderate speeds, feel is mehh at best. Quiet tires, decent tread life, comfortable but no where near the advertised levels. Currently during the winter ... moderate snow ... nothing spectacular, slightly better grip off the line than the duellers, fairly predictable, but a bit short on lateral grip ... so if you are braking and trying to cut a corner on snow ... better be awake so you don't end up in a ditch nose first.
Vreds are noisy as fuk
