Re: Karizma/Karizma R

Yes it is possible. In fact, not just the tyres from zmr, you can get any tubeless tyres fitted to your zma-r if the size is okay.
Fitting a tubeless tyre only needs a valve change which is easily available with any tyre shop and is not expensive.
Check out for better 18" tyres, you should be able go find some nice sticky rubber for your ride.

Re: Karizma/Karizma R

Yes.. you are right.. its just the air inlet valve that needs to be changed..

It is possible to fit any tubeless tire on any alloy wheel provided there is no damage on the alloy wheel as even a slight gap between the tire and the alloy wheel wall can cause air leakage..

We don't have many options in 18" for tubeless tires which is a big let down initially i had the IRC tires. Don't know why but very minute holes started popping up which caused the punctures.. not one minute hole but many.. so had to get it changed again in less than 1000 kms.. changed to Michelin Sirac Street (using a Tubed tire as TL which is not recommended) and I didn't have issues till it rained heavily... the rear started fishtailing every time i applied brakes the same way i used to apply on the Stock Tires.. i literally lost the confidence of riding the bike on rain till someone here in xbhp suggested to reduce the air pressure (initially i had it at 35 and reduced it to 32) and found it better though not as good as stock but controllable.. though the front Michelin Sirac street is doing its job rear wasn't till i reduced the air pressure..

Being a Tubed Tire on the Karizma.. you will find more options and till now from my experience.. I had a good time with the Dunlop Geo Cruisers (the ones that came in Stock CBZ Classic model) which i had fitted on my Karizma They are Tube Tires and they did their job well in wet and dry conditions

Re: Karizma/Karizma R

Bro, could you please show the tyres.. both rear and front.. if possible..

Re: Karizma/Karizma R

Yeah, thats true. But if you analyse all the inputs, you most probably will get a calculation on the negative side. I suspect that the Sirac Street works better on tarmac/tar roads. So people living in smaller cities with more of tar roads may have a good experience. The fatter tread also may work positively with slush and muddy terrain. Also on highways most of which are tarred. But its pathetic on concrete roads which is found in bigger cities and metros, so the experiences there would be on the negative side. All in all seriously not worth it. But thats my opinion. Hope this helps....
