The Indian two-wheeler tyre market is highly brand conscious and the leading brands have been able to establish a market for themselves with their long-term business and service in two-wheeler segment. While two of the recent international players made their mark in the market with their quality standards, one of them recently entered the volume business after they started manufacturing tyres in India through a joint venture.
The performance tyre market caters to informed buyers and the Indian commuter segment buyers are not aware of the basic quality parameters of the tyres like the softness of the tyres, speed ratio, load index etc. The leading brands supplies hard compound rubber tyres and are able to produce much cheaper compare to imported soft/medium compound tyres. The positivity in the Indian economy has increased the purchasing power of individuals and this has lead to a vertical increase in sales of 150cc and above bikes in market. With the changing times riders are getting more concerned and aware about the safety requirements and looking not just at word of mouth opinions but also at the digital platform that offers plethora of information at their fingertips.
Keeping in mind the potential buyers needs, Timsun Tyres has entered the Indian market to offer a wider range of not just performance but also purpose built tyres to suit the needs of today’s motorcyclists. Taking the benchmarks to another level are the dual-purpose tyres that offer a mix of street as well as off-road trail riding prowess. In today’s market most tyres available are either trail friendly or track fiends but are bereft of this duality which gives Timsun an opportunity to explore. As a company they set foot on Indian shores barely a year ago but have been gaining popularity purely by word of mouth and are currently in the process of setting up their network to meet the needs of the growing demand, especially in the 200 – 600cc class of motorcycles.
