Man, i don't think they discuss tyres this much in the tyres thread
What tyre in your opinion is good both in dry AND wet? I hope you don't suggest any trail/dirt tyres.Originally posted by prafultripathy View Post
Actually no come to think of it, because our bikes have a 2.15" rim and even 100 sections need a 2.5" really. 120 section requires a 2.75" rim.Originally posted by rennycornelius View Post
Just one thing to think about, why didn't tvs use their own tyres there?Originally posted by chicane1879 View PostComment

Amongst MRF and TVS tyres you mean?Originally posted by julianpaul View Post
Personally only a trail "type" is what I have experienced and I find it exceptional in both dry and wet. Ala Michelin Sirac. But it does not fit in you condition of 'not' a trail tyre._________________________

@prafultripathy:
What about the set of IRC's the new batch of 220's are coming shod with??
Have you tried it?The Magician"

I have only briefly ridden the IRC shod bikes and I found the dry grip to be adequate, dint get a chance to try in the wet. And quite frankly I feel those are some lower spec IRC's. If you are looking for something for your RTR, try something from the RX-01 or WildFlare series, they are definitely much more grippy than TVS+Bajaj.Originally posted by rennycornelius View Post_________________________

This is how the IRC 110/90*18 looks.I hope the 17" also has the similar tread pattern.

Drastic change in tyre pressure
Hi Friends, its being a long since I'm visiting this forum.
My RTR 180 has done 4000 km and 3 free services done. No major problems till now. Mileage is around 35-40 kmpl in Bangalore traffic
!
The pass-switch goes off frequently. Is there any fuse I need to replace for that? I didn't check what the service guy had done last time. But the headlamps are ok.
Another problem is that , the rear tyre deflates fast. When I fill it with around 36 psi (Shell petrol bunk reading), within 3-4 days it comes down to around 17 psi. I could not figure out why this happens
. If it is a puncture/leak , then the entire air should come out within few minutes. I'm not seeing any such visuals defects in the tire. My front tyre is retaining the pressure for long without any problem.
Can somebody throw light on this..Comment

About the pass light switch, a spray of water at it followed by a spray of WD-40 will make it work fine all year long, it stops working and requires much more push due to the dust deposit between the contacts.Originally posted by bala_racing View PostHi Friends, its being a long since I'm visiting this forum.

No this isnt how it looks. I will surely post a pic tomorrow. Today it rained in my city and got a chance to test the tyre to some extent. It has got pretty good grip in wet and didnt skid even after i tried some hard braking.Originally posted by chicane1879 View PostThis is how the IRC 110/90*18 looks.I hope the 17" also has the similar tread pattern.

^ That pic is from my bike only ... well the bike that i had that is
The IRC's on the P220 is quite different, there's no central groove , rather a zig zag center tread pattern. It has more contact patch than this tyre.A man's testosterone level is directly proportional to bhp that he's using on his motorcycle.Comment

I actually meant, any tyre. And yeah, i don't like the way the Sirac looks.Originally posted by prafultripathy View Post
Just saw about 4 new 220s yesterday, the rear IRC looks pretty cool actually. The front looks just like the stock TVS front. Can someone post the model no. of the rear IRC?Originally posted by rennycornelius View Post
The RX-01 series seems to be a bit oversized, especially in the front. Look pretty cool though.Originally posted by prafultripathy View Post
I went to the other exclusive MRF dealer yesterday. He said stock comes kinda randomly, the company doesn't send everything they order. Same price for the 90/90-17 Tubeless Zapper-FS - Rs. 1450/- which he had in stock. Looks like a good tyre. Definitely my front tyre choice. Following are prices for the Zapper-Q in 18". He had only 110/90 in stock.
. 90/90 - 1650
100/90 - 1750
110/90 - 1850
120/80 - 2150
I told him to call me when whichever comes first, the 90/90 (my first preference) or the 100/90.

I too saw it at the 220 thread and it looks cool.Originally posted by julianpaul View Post
I bought 90/90 Q at that time for 1980...Originally posted by julianpaul View Post
110 is good but that 90 profile is too much, it should have been 80.
JULIAN i'll suggest you to go for that FZ's zapper (front) for the front,it looks good, is 100 section and soft compund.
And for the rear i think 120 will look out of proportion specially Q and GEO both, as they look atleast one size more than the size they are of.The Magician"
