    well i want better mileage so wanted to for a thinner tyre and i guess going to 100 from 110 might help.

    Secondly i wanted better top end and i suppose the top end will increase a bit with thinner tyre...

    And i wanna go for 100/90 instead of 100/80 as a larger perimeter will give better topend (experience)

      hardly!
      if u want to significantly increase mileage, keep the revs down.

      possible! but it would also bring down ur mileage.
      which is the first reason u're opting for a thinner tyre.

      the R15 tyres are brilliant...
      i just don't think they'll be as brilliant on your P150.

        haven't seen an FZ tyre on anything but an FZ rim.
        pics would be nice.

          Rear Tyre Apache RTR 180

          @xionite
          I Have An Apache RTR 180

          Yeah i understand but i wanted better mileage while riping
          Thats why thought of 100/90-17
          but
          its not final yet!!!!!!

          just waiting for everybody's opinion on which one to go for......!

          Basically i want:
          1.More Top End
          2.Sufficient grip for good handling (i keep riping & cornering very often, so cant afford to skid at any point
          3.Better Acceleration

          Please Help Me in choosing the correct tyre.


          Initially i was looking on
          MRF Zapper-C,
          MRF Zapper-s(R15's),
          MRF Zapper-Q (got a suggestion to check this out too)
          IRC (heard that these are good too)


          The Rear Rim Size Is 17" so i am searching for tyres of that size..

          And could you all provide me with some good options for rear tyre for My Apache RTR 180

            R15 front: 80/90/17"
            rear: 100/18/17"

            Pulsar 150 front: 90/90/17"
            rear: 100/90/17"
            Pulsar 135LS, Discover 150 & Pulsar 150 shares the same tyre geometry.

            Front: 2.75x17"
            Rear: 100/90x17"

            As far as I know, P180/P220 has 90/90x17" front Tyre.

            Will the R15 front and rear tyres be a direct fit to P135LS?
