Car & Bike Maruti 800 | Suggest VFM Tyres

linuxtechie · Feb 16, 2012

I have this old car at my native with a very low run. Apparently, my parents prefer there bikes over it. Not used much. Now, the tyres are about 7-8 years old and have worn out. Hence suggestion for a VFM that gives smooth ride.

Any advice would do folks. Am spending money and would like to spend it good. Thats all.

Cheap would be MRF, JK etc.

Smooth ride would be Yoko A drives / Michelin

VFM Apollo Amazer.

Since your use is not that much I would suggest MRF, they are made of hard rubber compound and are virtually indestructible. Not very comfortable, but you can inflate the tire slightly lower than the recommended pressure. That will give you a bit smoother ride.

Why not upgrade your car to an alto?

Well thats on the cards. But the current tyres are totally bald, they have to be replaced.

Apollo Acelere are a good set of tyres. Should be just over 2k/ tyre for zen size. Or if you want to go cheap then apollo amazer as suggested by tech.addict.

If you drive on BAD roads then MRF ZVTS or ZV2K.

mrf zvts or zv2k - excellent value and underrated tyres.

Thanks guys. Additional question, can I replace with tubeless ones? Can the existing rim hold the tubeless?

Thanks

If the rims are in good condition (no rust), you can.
