Re: Mahindra Scorpio : Tyre & wheel upgrade thread

In the current variants, the S9 variant does not come with Alloys. I am planning to go for alloys (new car purchase), and is that a good idea? If so, is there something that I need to be wary of. Does the alloys have the same width for the stock tyre to go in exactly like how it was with steel rim?

The alloys costs a bomb as part of dealer accessory and not many designs to choose from. Whereas there is no dearth of choices from outside. Can I go for an outside shop which also looks to be cheaper and great choices available. Any warranty issue would pop up? Any thoughts overall?

Re: Mahindra Scorpio : Tyre & wheel upgrade thread

Planning on changing my 5 year old 28000km done OE tires on my Scorpio S10 AT to the BFG AT 265/65/R17. Will this upsize work as the stock is 235/65/R17?

Use a tyre calculator like the one on tyrestore.in and see for yourself

Current RR: 368.65 mm
New RR: 388.15 mm
Current circumference: 2316.29 mm
New circumference: 2438.82 mm

Difference in circumference: 122.53 mm or 5.29%

It should be 2% or less to be a feasible upgrade.

You can try 255/60 R17 - barely 0.8% difference and some good tyres. Do you really need all terrain tyres? If not highway/terrain ones give you far more choice.

Re: Mahindra Scorpio : Tyre & wheel upgrade thread

Need a recommendation.

My Bridgestone Dueller 235/70/R16s are nearly 8 years old and have covered close to 55ks. While the tyres in general are good for another 5000 kms, my regular tyre maintenance guy mentioned that the quality has gotten impacted on account of the lock down and limited running of the tyres (I do move my vehicle in and out, drive around in my building)

With the age, I presume it is normal for the wear and tear. I am thinking of swapping to newer tyres in the near future.

I see that the Falken Wildpeak AT 01 and Falken Wildpeak HT 01 are available for under 7k per tyre. Do we have any feedback on it?

My understanding is that for Scorpio 2010 model, it is recommended to stick with either the JK's or Bridgestone. Would it be good to try out other brands like Continental, MRF or Good Year

Get Michelins if you like and you can justify the extra cost by higher running. Else get MRF.

Considering the age of the current tires, any new set will feel better. Avoid AT tires, the ride will become harsh and noisy. Use an HT tire instead. MRF Wanderer used to come factory fitted in certain batches.

The proper replacement is Bridgestone Dueler D689 105 S, it is worth it.

Re: Mahindra Scorpio : Tyre & wheel upgrade thread

Hello All,

My Dec'2018 S-7 has now crossed the 110K mark and is due for a tyre change, the third set.

First set was a mistake of aftermarket alloys and Accelera 255/55/18 which served for a mere 45K kms, second set: S11 OEM alloys +Yokohama Geolander SUV 255/60/17 profiles done 65K+ kms with another 5-8K kms bite left.

Just wanted to check if someone has used Maxxis Bravo 980s (255/65/17) on Scorpio? If yes, will it be a recommended change?

I would have preferred BF Goodrich, however, the desired profile is not available.

Re: Mahindra Scorpio : Tyre & wheel upgrade thread

Hi everyone,

I see that this thread has not been active for the past year but still, it's better to post here than start a new one.

So, my dad's 2016 Scorpio S4 is with me temporarily and I noticed that while the tyres have maybe 3000 Kms of life, the rubber is almost fully infested with micro cracks. They're Apollo Apterra HP 235/65 R17 104H tyres.
The car has done 38200 kms as of now. The distance is minimal but the tyres are 8 years old now as we speak. So I went to one tyre specialist who deals with Apollo, Bridgestone and Yokohama. He quoted the below prices.

Apollo - They have a few models ranging from INR 12000 to INR 14850
Bridgestone - INR 14400
Yokohama - INR 14000

I went to the MRF franchise centre after that and checked with them.

MRF Wanderer Street - INR 11000

The Scorp is RWD and mostly used for City and Highway runs, that is, there is no point in off-road or heavy tread tyres and hence only highway tyres are being looked at.

All the above tyres are from really good brands indeed but the price difference between MRF and the rest is substantial (difference of 12K approx for four tyres). Please give me some pointers regarding the pros and cons and other points to consider.

Many thanks!
