For Mr Gaurav lal
Hi Gaurav,
i did visit the haryana tyres showroom in faridabad today. Firstly, the people were not interested in selling tyres, with every one of them looking the other way. And these are people from whom my family and me have been buying tyres for the last 10 years or more!!! lol!!! I asked for the michelins in 2.75-18 and 3.00-18. They only had 2.50 -18 and 3.00 -100 ( m62).
I asked for the M45 model. Not available
Whats the pricing for the 2.75 and 3.00 tyre . dont know ( the M62 was for 1200 without tube).
When can the tyre come. No idea
Can i place an order. No confirmation on availability..
Finally a little flustered, i stepped out.
Is there any dealer in Gurgaon from whom i could purchase the M45 series for my RXZ?? Thanks in advance.
My offerings to the gods of speed -
- KTM Duke 200
- Yamaha RXZ 5 speed

again ur riding to your hometown?Originally posted by Xenologik View PostOKay guys, time for a tyre change for me
Been using IRC's on my cbz-x for 25-26k kms, both front and rear.
I am inclined towards using them again, but can anyone confirm whether they have tubeless too now in bangalore ? I didnt have a choice back then.
But after a short conversation with praveen_km i might try the m45, if both sets are avialable in bangalore. Would change the tyres in january before a long ride home
.
Managed to fix a tubeless punchture yesterday on my RTR with help of my dad. It was damn difficult to push the strip in

R15, Stock are The Best..Originally posted by uditkhanna View Posthey guys...
i have been advising many ppl on numerous topics related to bike. But then there is ONE thing which i am kinda need of help and advice.
see i am having a R15...1 yr old...the rear tyre is totally worn out...wanted to change the tyre.......and I HAVE NO IDEA regarding tyres...pls help...
i am thinking FZ tyre as an option...actually i am not inclined towards wide tyres....just want something that good on road and doesnt get puncture easily.....i knw the stocks are the best ....its just that i am tired of soft compound R15 tyre....which happen to be a puncture magnet....man i have spent around 1000 bucks in the past 1 yr on getting puncture fixed !!!

100 is the foot print of the tyre and 80 denotes the percentage of the tyre wall's height. In a 100/80, the wall height is 80% of 100.

wonder when will i have such a situation for trains to my native!Originally posted by Xenologik View PostI kind of dislike trains
because of the W/L status i always get.
Sooo ....
Hey Satish, RTR has a 18" rear , which tubeless tyre are you using now ?
Am using Vee rubber 110/80-18. Got it for 2.3k. Should be less in bangy!
even i could'nt push it in easily. Waited for all the air to come out. Only then we could push it in!Originally posted by nirav46 View PostAtleast you managed to do that, i tired my luck but it did not work out....Last edited by onlinesatish; 11-25-2009, 12:46 PM.07 HH Zma
