    U can consider CEAT vertigo sports Also,have same size of ur stock tyres,with good grip
    M45 wont decrease mileage,its just 1kg more than stock zapper 100/90-18. CEAT vertigo sport is hard compound tire and wont offer great grip in wet.

    Front - Michelin M45 2.75*18
    Rear - Michelin Sirac Street 100/90*18
    Tubes - MRF

    Just get these if you can. These are stock sizes. Far better than the stock tyres.
    Yeah,+1^^^ Get these tires if possible,No loss in performance,mileage or any thing,only gain in grip.

    And Zapper Q's wet grip is bad.

    Today i saw my friend's pulsar 180. the tyre was preety good. size is 120/80.
    Why dont i get a 120/90 tyre for my cbz. how much will it affect my mileage?
    i dont think that 120/80 will suit. but 110 will suit instead of 120. today i went to MRF tyre shop, the said that installed a 110 size tyre on a hunk with out any problem.

    Stick to it. And improve your braking skills. Use front brake more than rear, and use rear to stabilize the bike.
    +1

    Xtreme's rear brake doesnt respond quickly...So concentrate more on front brakes (normally on all bikes) which makes rear tire skidding less.

    If your bike has come with Dunlop Geo-cruisers...They are good for any kind of terrains except corners. If you are still prefer to change the rear tire...I suggest Michelin M45 4.00x18" which is very good tire. You might require to get the brake rod little bent so that tire doesnt rub it.

    I own a cbz extreme(bought @ 13.jun.2010).

    I read many thread in bhp in regard to this, but no where a size is mentioned clearly.

    The stock rear tyre size is 100/90.I preety much hear that the thin rounded tyre makes bike to skit easily.i too had those exp a bit.

    Is it true?

    So if I have to change t tyre which tyre and which size i can go for?

    I want flat tyre.I dont want my mileage to drop,and not ready to alter any others parts to fit the tyre.

    Is it possible ?

    Kindly suggest your valuable solutions and comments.
    you can go fot the dunlop geo-cruiser if you want. it provides superb grip even on wet roads and also off road.

    Karthikeyan_M welcome to xbhp

    CBZ X comes with a 100/90 tire,
    thin rounded tyre makes bike to skit easily.?

    This is not true,tire tire tend to skit due to its tread lesser the tread more it will skit,good amount of tread it will not skit.

    So if I have to change the tyre which tyre and which size i can go for?

    If your bike is new its no need to change the tire,If you have to change tire or if you live in rainy area,then go for dual purpose tire also known as enduro tires,don't go for oversize tire it will decrease your performance.
    100/90 is enough...

    tyres don't skid that easily if you maintain the company specified tyre pressure..if you overinflate they will skid..anyways if you do want to change, IRC tyres are easy to find and are medium compound tyres so you will get better grip. you can go for a 110 section irc..but it would slightly shorten the gear ratios because of its low profile but the change would not be drastic
