Mahindra bluesense usa6/22/2023 ![]() Only downside to this approach is putting the wheel through 2 dismount-mount cycles, since I will have to do it originally to install the new tyre, then remove it to install the TPMS sensor, and then fit it again. Then once the TPMS sensor arrives, go to the service center, and get it installed. The alternative being, getting the tyre installed at the MRF dealership with an ordinary valve and do the trip on it. Now the question is: Do I go through with the 250km run on the spare itself? Is it fine to use the spare for that long? I've already done about 200km on the spare when the incident had occured. I need to make a ~250km run this weekend. Meanwhile, I am still running the spare, and now am in a question. I have asked them to procure it, but they said it will still take about 4-5 days. However, the TPMS sensor is currently not in stock with the service center. The latest update on the situation is: I have managed to find a source for the tyre. So most of you must've read about the whole tyre debacle I went through. Though in the manual variants you can still control the ICE and the AC settings from the app. Now, I'm confused if this feature is really available or Mahindra needs to update its website?įrom what I know, the remote control capabilities are only available for the automatic variants. Upon trying to register in Bluesense app with mobile number, it refuses stating KYC is not complete for the compatible vehicle. Mahindra's website clearly advertises and shows this Bluesense Plus but is provided is just the Bluesense app which can only connect through Bluetooth and none of remote capabilities are available. Okay, there is a lot of confusion between Bluesense and Bluesense Plus which has connected car tech with eSIM in it. Ironically, I am going to have to drive this "SUV" carefully around regular potholes on the road. I feel that in the case of the XUV, we have a couple of mitigating factors apart from the tyre profile:Ģ. I drove my Jazz around for almost 50,000km on stock tyres, without a single puncture. My tyres are way too new else I would definitely have switched them out for something thicker. If you feel the slightest hint of a bulge, just replace the tyre. 55 is a rather short profile for what is supposed to be, and branded as, an SUV.Īnd this is especially worse for the W8 (o), since the W8 would get 16" 205/65 ones, which arguably are better suited for the "SUV" moniker.Īs for your tyre, keep an eye on it for any signs of bulging. I am saddened and yet not all too surprised to hear another incident. This is what leads me to believe the 215/55 is to blame here and I seriously need to adapt my driving style when on the XUV300. My Ecosport with 205/60 R16 steel wheels has taken pretty major hits from potholes, and seen the worst of roads at some good speeds and never did I have a single incident such as this. As it is, in Maharashtra there is a great abundance of potholes and no matter how I drive the car is bound to hit some. I'm very skeptical replacing the tyre with a 55 aspect ratio one and waiting for this to happen again. Although the tyre is no longer losing air and I cannot even make out where it was patched, I'm still worried running with a patched tyre. The tyre repair guy however assured a patch will fix it permanently and they do this regularly with buses and a car should not be a problem. The hole size was big enough not to accommodate a plug. Replaced with spare and faced the same problems as you not being able to fit the original tyre in the boot As soon as we stopped, the tyre was flat within a minute. TPMS was useful as it almost instantly threw up warning all over the dash and infotainment. Lots and lots of potholes, and finally a rear tyre gave up. The exact same thing happened to me on Nashik - Pune just yesterday. ![]() Absolutely do not understand why this tyre size was selected. I looked up and confirmed a 205/60 tyre would provide a higher contact patch and a slightly higher ground clearance. The W8(O) with 17 inch and 6.5J alloy size is weirdly accommodating 215/55 tyres. I was already worried because I'm not a fan of lower sidewall heights.
