However, when it came to the availability of performance oriented tyres for the 150cc and above machines there was not much precise available to look for. Nevertheless, some recent years have witnessed hi-tech use of the technology in tyres too, and when it comes to technical advancement in tyres the first name can be none other than MRF Tyres. India’s largest tyre manufacturer has been continuously unleashing new technologies in the bike tyre segment. And here, the latest and the most promising addition till date is ‘MRF Masseter’ tyres.
