    Please suggest me a pair of soft rubber compund tires for pulsar 200

    Guys, i need to change my both tires to soft compound. Please suggest a good tire models for me. Most of the time riding on 60-100 Kmph. My prefer tire sizes are

    Rear - 130/70-17

    Front - 100/80-17

    Are there any disadvantages taking these size tires (Beside mileage spocket life)?

      For the size you mentioned front : Fz 's tire is 100/80/17
      while rear you can go for Pirelli sports demon or the Ninja 250 irc tires [both 130/70/17] .for something cheaper Zapper Vyde is a good choice .

      But do remember putting oversize tires will also decease performance a bit

          vee rubbers are very soft compound tyres and are reasonably priced as well.

                    Both look nice.

                    Is Vee Rubber a reliable company?
                    Any idea of price and availability in Kolkata?
                    I kinda like the VRM134 model.

                      IMO, the new pulsar 220 non fi, comes with the soft compound rubber that comes on the R15. why not go for those tyres???

                          ^^ i repeat, so you can re-read.

                          The new pulsar 220 non fi comes with the soft rubber compound That comes on the R15. When did i say that the tyre size is same. i am referring to the rubber compound of both bikes.
