            Mithun, Dunlop monster is nothing great. It doesnt have the levels of grip that it looks like it will offer. Plus, the tyre is heavier than other 100/90 tyres. i have been using it for 15k kms.

              So how is the Dunlop Geocruiser range when it comes to grip & handling ?

              • Dunlop Geo cruiser is less heavy compared to Monster, but again grip in wet is pathetic with the tyre. But the tyre lasts really long!
                If you are in Bangalore, why dont you go for the Zapper Q 100/90? Also check out the Ceat Vertigo 100/90, tvs Jumbo 100/90.

                • Ok guys, time for a tyre change for both my front and rear of my P200. The front is stock MRF and the rear is a zapper VYDE. Now am banking on Pirelli Sport Demon. What do you guys say? Is it better than the Michellins and the MRFs? All I want is outstanding grip for cornering and exellent handling. I can compromise on tyre life (soft compound). Am confused between zapper vyde/michellin/pirelli SD. Please suggest me the best for front and back. I ride only in city, tarmac.

                  • So you have been using the Zapper vyde till now? How is it?
                    Michelin sirac is available which an xbhpian caravikiran is using. check it out.
                    I am not sure about pirelli in 17inch.

                    • he and Ravikiran went for the Voye almost together... Ravi Kiran's Voye was changed after 9k kms I think... including HX and his Voye needs a change much sooner!!!

                      Now, did I hear him saying "only city tarmac"?????

                      Sagar, Pirelli is not for you.... they do not stop you from falling sidewards... you see...!

                      • I need to change my both tyres of P220.
                        Is it possible to put FZ16'S rear tyre to P220 rear tyre?
                        What's the fattest tyre I can use on my P220?
                        I need outstanding grip , cornering balance , and good quality - Don't care about price.
                        But don't want rim or sprocket modification..

                        • Hi,
                          I own a cbz-x and need to change the rear tyre (due to unrepairable puncture ) what would be a good suggestion? I mainly ride only in the city and I guess it should have good grip in wet surfaces too for the rain...I think I would prefer tubeless tyres.

                          Remember the cbz-x is 18" and recommend me a good set (both front and rear) for a reasonable price please. For me I like the existing balance between pickup and mileage (45-50kmpl and goes to 100 effortlessly)

                          Thanks

                          • i just got a mrf zapper-S on my 180 ug3 (stock tire of R-15)

                            there was a guy honking around in his air-horned brand new R15 with an OFF ROAD TIRE

                            he sold the brand new tire to me in 500 bucks
