Veloce Motorcycle Tires — Which Type for Manual Bikes, Which for Scooters?

Going to a tire shop and being asked "tube-type or tubeless?" is a moment many riders cannot answer. Not because they do not care about their bike — but because nobody has explained why the question matters as much as it does. Using the wrong tire type is not a minor technical imprecision: it changes how the wheel behaves when a puncture happens at speed.

Veloce motorcycle tires — by GoodTime Rubber Co., Ltd, established in 2000, headquartered in Taiwan and manufactured in Vietnam — cover both categories: tube-type (TT) for manual and semi-automatic bikes, and tubeless (TL) for scooters. The 6-ply construction (6PR) is consistent across the entire range, with a typical service life of 1.5–2 years under normal operating conditions.

The selection rule is one line: spoke-wheel bikes need tube-type, alloy-rim bikes need tubeless. Everything else is matching the right size to the specific model.

1. Spoke Wheels and Alloy Rims — Why Rim Structure Determines Tire Type

Older manual bikes (Wave, Dream, Future) use spoke wheels — the spokes pass through the rim creating multiple small holes. This rim cannot hold air directly, which is why an inner tube is required to form the air chamber. This also means converting to tubeless is not possible without replacing the entire wheel assembly.

Modern scooters use cast aluminum alloy rims. No spoke holes, bead seat channels clamp the tire edge tightly, and the sealed chamber holds air directly — no inner tube required. Fitting a tube-type tire onto an alloy rim is mechanically possible but creates uneven tube compression at points without engineered support — generating localized stress concentrations, shortening tube life, and increasing the risk of sudden deflation.

2. Manual and Semi-Auto Bikes — Tube-Type (TT) Tires

2.1. Honda Wave and Yamaha Dream

Wave and Dream use standard 17-inch spoke wheels — tube-type is the only correct option.

• Front (2.25-17): Veloce V-9336 Wave — VND 253,000 | or V-9924 Dream — VND 253,000
• Front diamond tread (2.25-17): Veloce V-9568 Dream-Wave — VND 298,000
• Rear (2.50-17): Veloce V-9331 Wave — VND 305,000 | or V-9131 Dream — VND 305,000
• Rear diamond tread (2.50-17): Veloce V-9568 Dream-Wave — VND 305,000

The V-9568 diamond-tread variant provides better wet-road grip at a VND 45,000 premium — worth it for bikes used frequently in rainy conditions.

2.2. Honda Future and Future NEO

Future runs a larger rear size than Wave — not interchangeable.

• Front (2.50-17): Veloce V-9335 Future — VND 290,000
• Rear (2.75-17): Veloce V-9333 Future — VND 372,000
• Future NEO front (70/100-17): Veloce V-9589 Future NEO — VND 350,000

2.3. Yamaha Exciter 135 Early Generations (Spoke Rear Wheel)

Exciter 135 from 2007–2013 used a spoke rear wheel — unlike later generations with alloy rims.

• Rear (110/70-17): Veloce V-9871 Exciter 135 — VND 815,000

3. Scooters — Tubeless (TL) Tires

3.1. Yamaha MIO Series and New-Generation Exciter

• MIO series front (70/90-14): Veloce V-9589 MIO — VND 308,000
• Exciter/Jupiter new generation front (70/90-17): Veloce V-9568 diamond tread — VND 330,000

3.2. 110–125cc Scooters (Air Blade, Vision, Janus)

Most scooters in this segment use 12-inch alloy rims.

• Front (110/70-12): Veloce V-9002 Exel — VND 647,000
• Rear (120/70-12): Veloce V-9920 Exel — VND 690,000
• Attila rear (100/90-10): Veloce V-9945 Attila — VND 475,000
• Electric bicycle (3.00-10): Veloce V-9945 — VND 324,000

3.3. Larger Scooters (Epicuro, Majesty, Dylan)

• Epicuro front (110/80-12): Veloce V-9920 Epicuro — VND 691,000
• Majesty rear (130/70-12): Veloce V-9920 Majesty — VND 715,000
• Dylan front (110/90-13): Veloce V-9546 Dylan — VND 783,000
• Dylan rear (130/70-13): Veloce V-9546 Dylan — VND 887,000

4. Inner Tubes — When to Replace Independently

If a manual bike repeatedly goes flat without a visible nail, the inner tube is likely cracked or worn through — replacing just the tube is significantly cheaper than a full tire set.

• 225/250-17: VND 62,000 — Wave, Dream front
• 250/275-17: VND 62,000 — Wave, Dream rear
• 275/300-17: VND 70,000 — Future
• CARO 70/90-16: VND 62,000 — older scooter sizes
• CARO 80/90-14: VND 70,000 — standard scooter
• CARO 80/90-16: VND 60,000 — some manual bike models
• CARO 90/90-14: VND 71,000 — mid-size scooter

Conclusion

Veloce is not positioned as the most expensive tire available — that is by design. With 6PR construction, a 1.5–2 year service life, and a complete lineup covering both manual bikes and scooters, Veloce is a practical choice for everyday riders who need consistent quality without overspending. The only mandatory rule is the rim match — TT for spoke wheels, TL for alloy rims — before considering any other specification.
