    check out my orkut album for the pics.... name is saminder singh

    hey Saminder your red zmr is looking more hot and sparkling than stock red zmr .......

    did u put any type of coating on your zmr ....if any then which or what type of coating is that and what the cost\\??

    if you didnt do any coating or something and that awas your original colour then i must say that the red is best amongst them.

      But my reply to you is, the m45 is lighter than the mrfs. Its pattern design makes it grippier. Its been tried and tested so I need not mention again & again.
      I am using it as tubeless and no its been almost 4 years hasnt hampered my ride at all. Infact the rides got better and better as it has progressed. Am due for change now.

      And the ZMR with its f-i accelerates even better and since its a lighter tyre it runs quicker making it even more fun. Its got a lot more cover area on the surface than the mrfs.( Michelin should be given as stock but dont know why HH doesnt relent! BS really)

      Hope this answers your queries. once n for all!
      Heyy... ofcourse it cleared ma doubts once and for all.. Thanks mate..!!
      How much does a pair cost..?? I mean front n rear..?? Within or around 3k..?? To put it on as tubeless i dun hav to visit any special workshop ryt..??
      Guess i ll change it too once i get the bike ( Hopefully next week )..!!
      Thanks Myg.!!

                  Heh! somewhat, though your knowledge may get stunted if you hasitate to ask seemingly stupid questions . Anyway, I too want to fit in FZ tyres for my ZMA-R. I believe ZMA and ZMR are almost identical in all respect as far rim size are concern. Meaning whatever fits ZMA will fit ZMR and vice versa. Now since FZ runs on 17 inches, you will have to change to 17 inch rims. Also FZ rear are 140 section, very broad, so any 17 inch rims will not be suitable to take a 140 section, so the best bet is FZ rims itself. Now comes the next problem. 140 section will not fit into either ZMA or ZMR swing arms as they are too narrow. So maybe the swing arms needs to be changed. Again FZ swingarm, if that is possible at all. This may also mean conversion to monoshock (in case of FZ swingarm). Thats only for the rear. Alternately you can customize the rear swing arm to take a 140 section, but this should be done by experts ONLY. I understand 140 can be forced onto some pulsar (220) rims, but this would not be advisable as even the pulsar rims will be narrow for 140. yes, It can fit but will not perform well.

                  Now it will not be nice to run 17 at rear and 18 in front. So the front also need to be changed to 17. Well the problem is the ZMA/ZMR disc brakes are bigger, so the caliper mounts that are in the front forks will be different(position) from the 17 inchers, this means you may have to change the front forks as well and the disc brakes assembly of 17 inch tyres.

                  Even using 120 on ZMA/ZMR stock rims is stretching the limits. They have one of the thinnest rims.

                    Rates depend statewise, so you better ask your tyre dealer for this. And he only shall convert it to tubeless if he has the expertise to do so. Else no issues you can run it stock. No worries at all anyway.
