    Tyres....recommendations for replacements

    Just fitted Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6 tyres. Excellent so far from point of view of grip and traction. Paid around £160 a tyre fitted.

    Undecided on the XPOWER

    Yep, great value car for the money. Peanuts to run for the performance on offer. Essential - make sure you get a test drive of the actual car first though and ensure that test drive includes a good stretch of 70mph road

    In praise of my XPower

    Was mentioned in a couple:- MG4 XPower Review and Buyers Guide 2023 | Electrifying.com And at ~36 mins into this one:- I test drove one for a day which had no vibrations so ordered on the back of that. Sadly our car had it and so did the Hendy demonstrator which I asked to drive to compare...

    In praise of my XPower

    Interesting - do you have figures on number of X-Powers sold vs those with the vibration issue? Genuinely interested to see if there are only a few of us effected. Speaking to the master technician at my dealer, he informed me that during his X-Power specific training he underwent, all 6 cars...

    In praise of my XPower

    I've got lots of friends & work colleagues with EVs across several different brands and they have all had some sort of issue (mainly software related) so definitely not just an SAIC problem. For me, had it just been the odd warranty & software issue, I would still consider one of their products...

    In praise of my XPower

    Car ticks every box for us as our everyday family wagon and is exceptional value for money given the performance on offer. Dealer, on the whole has been reasonable (been back there way too many times but that's down mainly to issues with the car which isn't their fault), but at the end of the...

    In praise of my XPower

    Same here - car does everything we need and more but the attitude of MG UK means out of principle, we won't buy another MG product. They also lost the sale of a Cyberster as well as a close family member was all set to order one until he'd heard about my experiences (and that of many on here).

    Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6 tyres

    They cost me £165 ea fitted. Reasonable for a decent tyre.

    Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6 tyres

    I think there is something in this as assume the reason the vibes seem to improve over time with the old set of tyres maybe due to the tread depth decreasing.

    Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6 tyres

    No, not EV specific but well within the weight rating for the car.

    Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6 tyres

    So got some new boots fitted last week to the minty goat - went for Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6 tyres. So thought I'd give some feedback. The previous tyres were Michelin e-primacy (fitted by the dealer at 600 miles to help with the vibes and they were were sooo much better than the terrible...

    MG4 X Power Vibe/Hum 65 to 75mph

    Also be interesting to hear the progress on the group litigation - must be getting on for 9+ months since it was started but it all seems to have gone very quiet?

    X Power First Service.

    Definitely a coffee tax then! Won't be rushing to purchase any new vehicles from them in the future although they do have a very large empire.

    X Power First Service.

    I've had to spend so much time there with various warranty issues that I should have my own chair! Off there again in 2 weeks for an alarm that randomly goes off (mainly at night) and our 2nd replacement door handle due to switch failure. Maybe it's because I drink so much of their coffee each...

    X Power First Service.

    No my £165 was the same dealer that Chris has been offered at £127! I'm obviously a valued customer....

    X Power First Service.

    That's a good price - they rushed me £165 for our first service back in March!

    Tyre change to 225 40 18

    Yes on both accounts - the XP is always scrabbling for grip when under full acceleration so they should improve standing starts noticeably, particularly once warmed up and traction when accelerating out of slower corners. They will impact range to some degree as there will be more friction to...

    Tyre change to 225 40 18

    Above advice still stands - often wet there. If you can get heat into them, then that will help but still think they’ll be too much for the standard suspension - traction will be much improved though. Have they got chargers there now?
