  • Tyre options.

    Hey guys!!

    I am about to change my KTM duke 250's tyre both front and back, the stock MRF isn't that good. I have done around 10k kms with the stock tyres. So, please suggest me to choose a better tyre than the stock ones.

    Ride hard, ride safe.

      Please elaborate what characteristics are you missing on MRF & what is your riding like - offroad, city, wet?

        Michelin, Continental,Dunlop , pirelli are the top five tyre brands in world and provides many distinguishing variants.

        MRF isn't a bad either.

        It depends on your budget and your way of riding.

        If you're on tracks and cornering lover then pirellis are a good one.

        * MICHELIN are the best worldwide for their performance.

        It depends on you .

        Choose wisely.

                  Yeah Amazon is the No.1 online seller all around the world and LoL he surpassed 'BILL GATES' last year.(Richie list).


                  But those tyres will be much costly with the local dealers.

                  Two things we can do :

                  1. Shop from local store.(bargain the lowest price (comparing with online)


                  2. Straighly go with Amazon if you are not satisfied with the tyre on delivery just return it !


                  Cheers,
                  Ride hard & safe.

                            I haven't personally tried the Pirelli tyres but from what I heard from reviews, they perform excellently. They are very popular in the Apache 200 forums (do take a look) and people suggest them for superior wet grip and for touring at 100+ kmph. Tyre life as per the Apache 200 forums is 15,000 to 20,000 kms.
