    Re: Tyres

    Moto Gears and Esskay Trading. Surya Tyres is also reputed.
    They confirmed over phone that they are 2017 stock but I couldn't make out from the tyre.

    For your bike or my smaller R15 with top speeds less than 150 kmph, I think radials are not compulsory. Good soft compound bias ply tyres like Masseters or PSDs should do the trick.

    Could you let me know the name of the seller that you got your tyre from and whether the tyre is indeed 2017 batch(assuming the tyre has already been delivered)

    Thanks

    Do let us know about the date of manufacture of the tyre. There is always a chance of old stock being sold at discount online.
    if you get new-ish stock then i too would buy from amazon, need a new rear tyre for my RS200

    If both the Masseters and Pirelli PSD are bias ply then which one to choose? I have an RS200 and need to change my rear tyre due to end of life. Am looking at 140/70 r17 tyres. I read that Bias ply are heavier tyres?poor low speed flickability as compared to radials?

    I just need excellent dry and wet grip, long life is not an issue so should i stretch my budget and get the Michelin piot street(radials)?? After reading countless posts am a little confused on the need for expensive Michelin for a 200 cc bike are the Masseters and PSD inferior in terms of dry and wet grip?

    regards

    Re: Tyres

    My R3's rear tyre has come to end of its life at 13K kms. Fishtailing and drifting.
    I'm considering the following options for replacement in stock sizes 110 front and 140 rear:
    1. MRF stock tyres (Zapper FY and Zapper S) radials
    2. MRF Revz C front and Masseter rear non radials
    3. Pirelli Sports Demon
    4. Michelin Pilot Street
    Cost would be in the 1-4 ascending order but my preference is more in 4-1 order 😁.
    I would like to get inputs from those who have changed tyres before coming to a conclusion.
    Note: Pure touring usage only.

    Ohh, I thought they were Radials. My bad !

    So , these are basically bias ply , hard compund tyres right? Same as PSD's ?
    What's the difference between bias ply and radials? Can bias ply be tubeless? Can radials be with tubes?
