Pity about your experience. TVS should seriously look at revamping their sales network in the north if they have to sell high numbers. Congrats on your 220 acquisition.

No wonder Bajaj is seeeling so much
it was so easy to get the bike
complete hassle free
now i wonder why we don't see TVS on roads
as it is the sales are down ... and if you have such excellent sales Team what would you expect to be your after sales

parimal_g · 27th January 2010, 12:57

Hi Abhay,

Go to Lamington Road, there are many tyre shops available and they do keep different tyres from various Manufacturers.
And pulser comes with Zapper series tyre which are good for our road conditions.But most of the Mumbai roads are of Cement its better to go for a soft compound to have better grip.

abhayshanu · 27th January 2010, 22:48

8.5k is quite damn cheap, really wont mind, but will these last long? like 15-20k kms?
