Re: Tyres

Okay okay. My bad
This one is a rear tyre.

Re: Tyres

It's actually a rear tire . I checked ceat's catalogue before installing it.

Re: Tyres

Get it replaced under warranty and try to talk the dealer for a better or another tyre.

Re: Tyres

Isn't Ceat 100/90-17 meant to be used as a front tyre. Maybe this is the reason.

Re: Tyres

Hello guys
Recently I got a Ceat Vertigo Sport Tubeless for rear in 100/90-17 . The problem is that tyre tends to follow small grove lines on the roads . This is not a problem if speed is upto 40 kmph but above that if I'm between 60-80kmph and tyre goes over a line on road the rear becomes unstable and this scares the hell out of me.This has happened 6-7 times in last 500kms since install.
Need a solution to resolve this issue.

Re: Tyres



Thanks for the replies people! But as I had mentioned earlier, we have already got new tyres.
Zapper FX1 (FZ v2 tyres) for the front and REVZ S for the rear (130 section) .

he is loving the experience so far, especially the cornering and braking.

Re: Tyres

Thank you brother☺

Re: Tyres


not quite sure about the dunlop my friend, Very difficult to source in retail stores.
The only place i've ever seen a dunlop selling is in a kawasaki showroom / service center!!

Re: Tyres

Zapper FY is 80/90 and Zapper FY1 is 90/80.
I am running FY1 90/80 up front and Vyde 120/80 rear on my P150. While a friend of mine runs FY1 and Masseter 120 combo.
FY1 is, let's say just FY1, known for phenomenal grip and cornering stability, be it dry or wet tarmac, you can even pull stoppies with this tyre on wet tarmac. Its got a round profile just like the Masseter and it looks great. No wobbling or fishtailing even at hard braking or locking. It just grips and grips.
Masseter rear 120 is great, very stable at corners and offers great grip. The compound is good and same soft compound as used in Zapper Vyde. No fishtailing observed yet.
Zapper Vyde is known for grip, an almost bald Z Vyde will offer much more grip than a heated new TVS Srichakra or even Zapper C 100 section. Though the profile is flatter than Masseter, the tyre shows fishtailing under hard braking only on dry tarmac, on wet tarmac it just shines and doesn't usually fishtail until there is debris on the tarmac.
..
About the price - Zapper FY1 front is ₹1650-1750. Rear Masetter is ₹2800-3100. Rear Vyde is 2400-2900. Front Masetter is 1700-1800. Cheers !



For the Pulsar I would suggest a 120-130 section rear tyre with a roundier profile like the Masetter. Revz is just too flat, even Vyde is roundier.

Re: Tyres

If he is upgrading both the tires, then it'd suggest him to check the Zapper Vyde and Masseter 120/80 and or the Masseter 80/90 or the Zapper FYI 80/90 for the front end, both are very good tires. Though the stock tire rating of the 220 is 90/90 and 120/80.

Cheers!

Is this better than the stock tyre?

Yea..better than revz m and y.. awesome wet grip and feedback.

How is cornering now?

Cornering is awesome.. i can lean more and more with this.
Ist a direct fit or some extra effort is required?

Yes.. direct fit..no efforts required. Little height will increase.. thats not a problem

Re: Tyres

140/70 and 150/60 tyres are a direct fit.

Re: Tyres

You are a life saver brother😀 I was looking for someone with a Gixxer with Masseters. Is this better than the stock tyre? How is cornering now? Is it a direct fit or some extra effort is required?
Please try to answer all questions😉😄

Re: Tyres

Will do! have to see the price ranges in Hyderabad.

Additionally - my friend is also planning on changing his Tyres. He rides a P220, any suggestions people?
We are planning on going for the same as of now. The REVZ-FY1 combo.
