hi guys , my bro owns a star city and he's really unhappy about the rear tyre of it , he's been wanting to change it from the stock TVS tyres but unable to decide on which is the best tyre for the bike ... does about 60km a day .

My dad too has a star city ES (that was the only 100-cc bike with ES when we got it) The rear tvs tyre are just adequate for star city, nothing to boast about , I have changed it to MRF zappers y. Its better than the tvs OE tyre.
My dad rides it at 40 km/h and says that he too gets around 70 kmpl. what I like about this bike is its low end torque and good headlight. I have tried to rip this bike and there is considerable vibration once you go past 65 km/h . The bike does best what it is designed for -- commute. The quality of parts need to improve (Compare it to any HH bike and you would know) and TVS should work on this. |
