MRF ZLO Performance Tyres

anachronix · 10th November 2011, 12:36

Thanks Nikhil, if you are so much impressed after comparing them to the AD07... I am sure the tires are excellent!

Great job MRF!

Can you post a picture of the tires in real? The pictures posted by MRF on their site looks bluish and crude

amitoj · 10th November 2011, 12:46

Just in time! Thanks for the great review, Nikhil.
My Yoko S drives are quite close to baldness.

But these dont come in 195/55-15, right? So, can i go with 195/60-15?

It is nice to know that an Indian company has finally come out with a performance tyre & not another "lasts 60k kms" tyre.

When I saw the advertisement, some time ago, I did not give it a second look, as it was MRF (preconceived notion) High mileage & no grip. Thanks Nikhil for the review, it is surely a good move by MRF, would look forward to seeing how it behaves post the 5k & 10k mark.

One thing good is the name - easy to remember !!

Cheers

No, they dont come in 195/55-15. They are available in 195/60-15 but you have a Honda City right? 195/60-15 will be pushing it.

Crap. Then i dont have any option in these tyres.

I am planning to upgrade/upsize the stock 165/80R14 JK Tyres on my Ritz Lxi to 185/70R14. I am unable to make a decision. Now with the MRF Z.LO in the picture I am more confused

.
Gurus please advice, would the MRF's be a good option or the YOKO's be a better option considering the fact that both of them are around the same price.
I can not afford MICHELIN due to deficiency of Vitamin M.

I was initially planning to go to 195/60 R15 but now looking at the ZLo am confused if I should stick to 195/60 R14 . I have a punto active and upgrading to R15 would mean I would need to get new rims too . I dont want to upgrade to alloys .

Anyone seen these tyres in flesh yet ?

bivin · 22nd November 2011, 19:47

just curious nikhil, how does it compare to the CPC2's?

Nikhilb2008 · 23rd November 2011, 13:41

No comparison to the CPC2s. I pushed them hard again yesterday and it felt EVEN better!

Blows the CPC2s out of the water. The CPC2s may have a chance only in the wet.

Rajanprash --- I think the ZLOs would be a good option. If you want to play safe, you can go for the A drives. The XM1+s are not worth the huge premium they command over the A drives.

Nikhil
I would like to change my OE JK in my Swift which has done 57000kms.I would like to upgrade my tyres to either 185/70R14 or 195/60R14.Can I go for MRF ZLO ?Which brand and size do you recommend for comfort and stability?
Dilip

Nikhilb2008 · 23rd November 2011, 14:05

For a Swift, I will not recommend 195/60-14. Stick to 185/70-14. You can go for the ZLO if you want. It does seem to be a good tyre.

dilipkumar7278 · 23rd November 2011, 14:23

Thanks Nikhil, So I will try ZLO's this time.
Cheers

rajanprash · 23rd November 2011, 15:38

Dilipkumar,
Please share your experience with the Z.LO tyres. I would be away from town this week, will have to do the upgrade next week due to lack of time

. Also share the prices and other details. Looking forward to your comments.
Nikhil,
Would the 195/70R14 look out of place on a Ritz. I assume these are old-gen Qualis tyres. Would like your input on the same as well. I know its a weird Question but would like to know

.

Nikhilb2008 · 23rd November 2011, 16:11

195/70-14 is also a wrong size. Some people have used it without a problem but I wont recommend it.

Nikhil.

I would like to know, is there any disadvantage in using 195*70*14 tyres in swift / Ritz .

Will it effect the car .
