        Btw, the Dazzler now comes with a 110 section Zapper. Ask those MRF guys to arrange for one, if they could.
        They didn't have any 110 profile tyres with the same 17'. I don't mind a drop in mileage but i am concerned about the performance of the bike. Just 10mm makes a drop in performance?? I also heard some ppl saying that zappper vyde doesn't give you a good cornering feel so asked me to go for a zapper q or y but all of those tyre were in 18' size. Will it fit RTR 180 rear rim?

        i don't know much abt tyres i looked in mrf website today and got all these nearly matching tyre profiles

        Zapper c
        120/80-17
        100/90-17

        Zapper vyde
        120/80-17

        Zapper y
        100/90-18
        120/90-18

        Zapper Q
        100/90-18
        110/90-18
        120/80-18

        Which one should i go for?

        Is there any IRC tyre shop in chennai?

              No, You cant fit in 18" tyres on 17" rims. Zapper C and Vyde are the only two options you can go for. Vyde looks good, though.

              Contact Chennai xBhpians to get info about the IRC Tyres.

                      And that's the best gift you can give to your bike, ie, keeping her at the stock condition, as indian bikes dont enjoy the mods.

                                Congratulations and happy anniversary!!! I see the rear tyres are squared off which means you've been doing too much of straight line rides and not doing enough corners!

                                The golden paint on the rims looks awesome .. tempted to get it done for mine too.
                                Most motorcycle problems are caused by the nut that connects the handlebars to the saddle.
