Mahindra Thar Tyre Update - All You Need to Know
Published On 23-Jun-2022
The popular off-roader gets a new set of CEAT tyres, replacing the old ones.
The Mahindra Thar has been quite successful in its new second-generation avatar, which was launched in 2020. The iconic car is meant for pure off-roading and is also an urban-friendly commuter. Just recently, the car has been updated, with few omissions in the exterior and interior departments, including updated tyres from CEAT. This move from Mahindra probably comes on the backdrop of semi-conductor shortage and an increase in the cost of raw materials.
Mahindra Thar Tyre Update
The Thar will now be available with new CEAT Crossdrive AT tyres, replacing the earlier CZAR AT tyres. The car earlier wore the 255/65 R18 and 245/75 R16 sized CEAT AT tyres, but with the update, the vehicle will now come with CEAT Crossdrive AT tyres, which is expected to be a downgraded version of the former.
The earlier generation of Mahindra Thar came shod with 235/70 R16 and 185/85 R16 sized tubeless MRF Wanderer Street tyres, which were replaced by sophisticated CEAT CZAR AT tyres to get more grip on and off-road.
The Thar is currently being offered in two trims, AX Opt and LX and is priced in the range of Rs.13.53 - 16.03 Lakh (ex-showroom). And despite deleting many features, the price of the car remains the same.
The popularity of Thar can be seen in the fact that the waiting period has shot to nearly a year in most cities of the country. The macho SUV with adequate power and torque offers an effortless everyday driving experience, country cruising and, of course, whenever you want to test this car to the core in rough driving conditions.
The Mahindra Thar is available in both hard-top and convertible forms and presently competes against Force Gurkha in its segment.
