ISI mark tyres now becomes compulsory in vehicles

Here is absolutely a good news for Indian branded tyre makers which are facing stiff competition against local, unreliable and cheap Chinese tyres! And the news is that now only ISI marked tyres will be used in the vehicles. As per Ministry of Commerce and Industry orders now all the vehicle makers which are producing Cars, Motors, Trucks, Heavy duty vehicles, bicycles, bikes in India etc. will have to use only ISI marked tyres.

 
Indian branded tyre makers are sure to get good response from market while another International brands like Continental, Michelin, Pirelli, Yokohoma, etc. need to adhere to ISI standards and bear the mark of the same. This order will be effected from May 9th, 2011 but those tyres which were produced before 1st May will not have to meet the new guidelines.
 

The Non-ISI marked and Chinese tyres are light weighted hence they ensure the mileage of the vehicles and lots of companies are using them. But these low quality tyres are not reliable and quality brilliant but prices of them are cheaper than branded tyres, it is main reason of their high demand and sales.
 

As soon as this new regulation comes in effect, the market will be facing new problems as they might have to rethink on the pricing of their vehicles. It is to be noted that Honda uses mainly MRF tyres as in Honda CB Twister while TVS uses its own TVS tyres as in TVS Star.
