    Not really. But, I know you'd kill anyone for the tire which you've been looking at. There's still a thousands of KMS of worth of rubber left on my current footwear and by the time it wears off, I think that's when I needed to worry I guess.

    Just as a side note, what second set of tires would you suggest? I know there's a heated debate going on regarding tires, but just to get a suggestion from you. Thanks

    Cheers!

    Once upon a time, a guy asked a girl 'Will you marry me?'
    The girl said, 'NO!'


    And the guy lived happily ever after and rode motorcycles and watched sport on a big screen TV, went fishing and surfing, and played golf a lot, and drank beer and scotch and had tons of money in the bank and left the toilet seat up and farted whenever he wanted.

    • ^^ That tyre is to kill for. At 1.3K its the cheapest front tyre I have ever bought, 4 years back even the stock MRF's were costing 1.5K.

      This...



      Is better than MRF FS, FX, FY, Pirelli Sport Demon, MT75, IRC RX01,NR75 !!!! And its cheaper than all of them

      The only other tyre which I have seen better than this is the Bridgestone Battlax BT45... which costs a cool 8K

      So yes... I would kill for the IRC Wildflares



      Well I am myself looking for a decent replacement since the usual stuff is no longer available anymore... F**K U Michelin ... :x

          +1 and bigger problem now is that I wish to undertake the biker pilgrimage and I don't consider the tread level remaining to be enough for the entire journey.

                All the best.. Good luck and God Speed to you

                Ceat Vertigo Rage is an option...but not that great in the wet! :/

                Front tyre I am considering.. but the rear I am not so sure about what kind of profile it would form.

                90/80-17 - R15 2.0

                  So that's difference between FY and FY1 mmm. I had a bad luck with IRC wildfare. But Hardeep suggested me CBR 250R front tyre(Continental) for better grip instead of zapper fy, don't know how does our bike handles with it. Still thinking of taking that offer.

                    Have heard a few CBR owners wanting to change the Conti tyres, they feel its not good enough.

                        Somehow most of us are not satisfied with what we have and always looking for change. On the other side of a coin , is there any common complaints about that tier. Will need to browse the ownership experiences..

                          Most of the CBR guys are crying about the sad grip on the tyres already!

                          But which CBR are you talking about 250 or 150 ? I am looking at the 150R's tyre!

                          Yea well everyone is looking for a replacement for the Sirac..

                          120/90 tyres will be hard to source now!.. Next best option is to look at a 130/80 tyre!

                              What if we import a lot of Siracs for our own usage? Not for sales or profits I mean. Is it still illegal ? I guess I have a contact who can do it, but we need a minimum order size of like 30-40 units for it to make sense.
