Broadest tyre from MRF

CHENNAI: MRF claims that it has launched the broadest radial car tyre ever to be manufactured in India. MRF ZVRL, the 265/70 R15-size radial tyre, has been tested and approved by Ford's international standards. These broad MRF tyres come as 100 per cent fitment on the Ford Endeavour, says a release from the company. These tyres compete with imported brands, which were the only tyres available in India in this segment until recently. This is a premium radial, which can also be fitted on Scorpio and Safari vehicles, without necessitating the change of OE (original equipment) rims, the release adds.
