    But if FY1 is tried and tested, will stick to that !

    I am looking for a replacement for my Apache RTR 180 ABS tyres.
    I have zeroed in on the REVZ radial series 120'' .
    And for the front, I will be going with a zapper of the same dimensions as stock

    Any suggestions for front or any negative feedback on the REVZ?

    Thanks in advance

    Re: Tyres

    Just a query.
    Bike is Hero Achiever 150 i3S.
    If I want to upgrade 80/100 section tubeless tyres at the rear to 100/90 section, do I have to change the rim as well?
    I feel they are too skinny.
    (Not changing now, just want to know.)

    And front has 80/100 section also. Will it be any problem and what changes could occur in terms of performance and fuel efficiency?

    Hi All,
    I am looking to upgrade my Thunderbird 350 to Alloy wheels and tubeless tyres. I have shortlisted 21 spokes Prado Alloys.
    But i cannot find much option available in Tubeless tyres apart from Ceat Zoom 120-80-18, MRF Zapper C.
    So can someone help me with other option and what could be better for more of highway styled riding.

    Hello guys

    I have to change front tyre on my impulse. Is 90/90 19 size available in dual purpose tyre in any brand? Stock is ceat one. Can't find anywhere in Mumbai.
    Can I use tubeless tyre with tube on my Impulse which has spoke rim, as tube type?

    Would suggest you to change either a few months before monsoon or after it. A new tyre will not work well in the wet. Tyres too need a run in of a few hundred kms already if not a thousand.

    Re: Tyres

    I own a fzs v2 (2015). I had upgraded my rear tyre to 140/70, since then the rear drum brake efficiency has reduced quite a bit, no matter how much I adjust the rear brake its not the same as before, even I have replaced the old brake shoes but its still the same. I think it is because of the higher profile tyre. Has anyone with the old fz have upgrades to a 140/70 tyre and face the same issue? Is there any way to solve it with aftermarket brake shoes or can brakeshoes of any other model bike be a direct fit to fzs v2 to solve the issue?
    And one more issue is that after getting the 140/70 tyre the bike has become tall geared and the pickup has reduced quite a bit which results in frequent gear changes in stop and go traffic. The new tyre (140/70) is 14mm taller than the stock tyre (140/60). My bike has a 41 teeth rear sprocket, can I get the same stock performance by installing a 42 or 43 teeth rear sprocket?

    So i am thinking to change the set of tyre with michelin before this monsoon. I found michellin has CITY Pro and SIRAC Street for ZMA size.

    Can you guys help me out regarding the wet and gravel grip ; which model would be better. I am thinking to upgrade the rear tyre size to 110/80/90 and front either 2.75*18 or 80/100/18.
    If i upgrade the front to 80/100/18 ; will there be any handling issue ?
