That's How We Roll

Tyres are a crucial part of the motorcycle’s setup. We all know that, but how much do we really know about them? To delve a little deeper, Bike India visited the TVS Tyres plant in Madurai, and even tested out some of the firm’s latest products.

MADURAI IS known as the temple town. The Meenakshi Temple present here, with its majestic and colourful gopurams or gateway spires, its thousand pillars, and seminal architecture make it one of India’s mainstays of history and culture, along with lending the city its nickname. I, however, wasn’t in Madurai for that, because the city has another, slightly lesser known claim to fame too. It is the hometown of TVS Tyres, which is why I found myself here, heading to the TVS Srichakra factory to witness the process that results in the creation of a tyre, and even have a go on a few of these creations.
