      The compnay is providing MRF tyres whcih are most unrealiable. I got one XL 6 car on 22.08 2023. After running of 400 Kms one tyre bursted and saved me from accident on 29.08.2023. The compnay is saving money by using MRF tyres . I dont know my NEXA dealer will be able to get the tyre changed.
