Re: Tyres

Not so good now a days. Because of the Indian manufacturing taking into account high tyre mileage.
Okish tyres.
The models which were 2013 and previous were epic !

Re: Tyres

Dual purpose tyres and sizes available for both front and rear.

Re: Tyres

Any idea about Michelin Sirac

Re: Tyres

Hi, I want to change tyres of my TB350. What are the best available options and sizes that I can go ahead with?

Also, moving to alloys for tubeless is advisable?

Re: Tyres

Hello everyone
Can anyone please give review about ceat zoom f in 90/90-17 size?? or any gud front tyre for TVS Apache rtr 160 ??

Re: Tyres

Hey buddy,
Please wait for a week or so.
I have changed my p220 tyres to Pirelli sport demon.
I will share my experience here.
Cost : front 100/80 17 is 2950 rs
Rear 130/70 17 is 3800.
There is an offer in every tyre park shop.
Else the regular prices are more than 5k rear and 4k rear.
Search for " Tyre park " in Google maps and find the one near you.
I would recommend you to this dealer only as they have authentic products and they are the main C&F agents.

Re: Tyres

Need to change tyres for my R15's rear, extremley confused between MRF Masster and Pirelli Sport 'DRAGON'! both are priced simillar, hence no problem in expenses! Wanna know the best among these two!

Re: Tyres

Hello fellow xbhpians!

I have the pulsar 220f 2012 october model.
Have clocked about 45000kms totally.
I'm really looking out for some really good tyre options for front and back. (Cost is not important)
I really ride hard and take fast corners as I really love cornering.
Below is my review of the tyres I've used.

STOCK:
The stock tyres zapper fs in the front was pretty good , did the job well not great but sufficient.
Rear zapper c was ok ish. But it wasn't holding the corners as it was really sliding out of line. After about 20000kms it was useless as it used to skid under light breaking and rains even though it had about 40% to 45% tyre left.
When the bike had munched about 29000 kms, i changed to michelin pilot sporty in the front and mrf mogrip meteor at the rear.(STOCK SIZE. 90/90 FRONT & 120/80 REAR).
Review :

FRONT :
Michelin pilot sporty 90/90: it was really great for about 500 kms but after that it is a complete BULLSHIT package !!
The tyre looses traction easily even after warming it up. (Warm up:riding continuously for 100 kms at triple digit speeds.)
Slides like crazy.
Very poor braking. Worst wet grip I've ever ridden on any 2 wheeler.
ZERO cornering ability as it looses traction very easily.
I guess it's a hard hard compound.cause I've used the tyre for more than 15k kms and the tread is used only 15% to 20%, so 80%tread life remaining !!!
I've fallen many times while cornering because there is like ZERO Traction.
Even straight line traction is bad.
Overall it's a very bad tyre for any performance/sports bike.
I would suggest everyone to stay away from it. I really hate this tyre.
PROS : NOTHING GOOD, MAYBE GOOD FOR A MIDDLE CLASS UNCLE ON SOME SPLENDOR OR VICTOR FOR COMMUTING IN CITY AS IT HAS EXCELLENT TYRE MILEAGE.

REAR :
MRF mogrip meteor 120/80 :
It's a button tyre pattern. Very grippy in offroading conditions no doubt about it.
First 2500 kms was a bliss, great traction, great wet grip, very good braking, great cornering ability: used to stay in line even when scraping the foot pegs.
It's after about 5000 kms it showed it's true colours - All the above I've said was gone.
Only after warming up the tyre , it had ok ish grip and cornering ability.
After 10000 kms, the tyre was a waste in terms of on road performance. Looses traction under hard braking, low traction while cornering, bad wet grip.
Tyre tread left - about 50%
PROS :
Never gave up while offroading TILL DATE. (Wet and dry)
Suggested for any offroad lovers.As the tyre is a bliss for offroading. Its really very grippy for offroads.

Now I'm looking for some really good tyres for my bike.
Requirements : good straight line stability, Should handle fast and sharp corners.
I tour a lot so I need tyre mileage, need to last for 15000 kms on a set of tyres.(need not last more than 17000kms)
Must be able to handle a little off-road, cause I live in India ;-)
Would prefer stock size, but I'm okay for upgradable size.
Please suggest me on this !!

Tyres in my mind:
front : stock zapper fs, fy1 used on r15 V2, MRF masseter, pirelli diablo rosso (if available for the suitable size)
Rear: Michelin pilot street radial 130/70, pirelli sport demon, MRF masseter , Pirelli diablo rosso (if available in 130 section)

Re: Tyres

Water channeling and pattern looks fantastic... congrats on new rubber... Hope you burn it soon with more miles...

Re: Tyres

Replaced my suzuki gixxer rear tyre with Masseter by MRF.
140/70-17 . Awesome wet grip and dry grip.cornering friendly price@3800 in Trivandrum

Re: Tyres

I have recently shifted from Euroslips to MRF FX1 front and Michelin Street Radial for rear. Both on stock size and I am loving it.

Re: Tyres

I have just changed from euroslips on my AS200 to Zapper FX1 and Michelin Street Radial, both on stock size. Spent 7k and I am loving it for sure.

Re: Tyres

Hi Guys,

I need a suggestion, i want to change the rear tyre for FZ-S FI 2015 model. The stock tyre gave up on 20K kms, and its time to change it. The bike will be used 90-95% in the city by my father who is quite a passionate rider (he rides my Duke as well). So he's looking for a balance between cost and grip, not too bad at either one.

Hows CEAT ZOOM XL? any other decent options in a closer price range?

Any suggestion is welcome.

TIA,
Vishal

Re: Tyres

Hey guys, when it comes to MRF Revz S VS MRF Zapper S : As the Revz S is a radial, is it really better that Zapper S?

I am Planning to change the Euroslips on my Pulsar200 to :
Front : 100/80 MRF Zapper FY2 (RS200 Front tyre)
Rear : 130/70 MRF Revz S (R15 Rear Tyre)

Any other suggestions please? I am looking for a medium compound tyre with good cornering abilities, need some durability hence medium compound.

For the front tyre, other options I have listed are :
Ceat Zoom Plus F 100/80 -- does anyone have any experience with this tyre?
Michelin Pilot Sporty 100/80 -- is this better over the Zapper FY2?

Re: Tyres

Not in the Michelin PSR. Pierlli used to have 150/70 x-ply tyre in their Sport demon series.

Cheers
