    Am asking about 150/70 ? Higher profile 150 section.
    Is that size available in Michelin PSR series?

    Less than 1900 for FX1 100/80 and 5100 for Michelin Street 130/70. [emoji6]

    Re: Tyres

    Guys... I own an RS 200.. firstly I'm sorry if this has been asked again and again.. Bear with me...

    Is it okay to go with CEAT zoom Tyre? Are they okay in wet conditions and how's the cornering.. I don't lean in to scrape my footpeg but how good is it... The CEAT Tyre store guy owes me a 300...so I prefer CEAT.. If it's not worth it I'll go for MRF zapper.. Please give me some. Info.. This is my first Tyre change..

    Thank you for your suggestion. The Pirelli has Short life and are expensive. I have selected the MRF FX1 for front and Michelin Street at the rear.
    Thanks again.

    For rough terrains, it's a wise idea to use harder compounds, as they can handle extra abuse and load effectively and harder compound tires usually last long. I'd suggest you use bias ply and radial both come in soft and medium hard compounds. For proper hard compound, go with bias ply.

    Cheers!

Mixing tires is never a good idea in my opinion, the dynamics, the grip, the load handling characteristics of a radial is equally opposite to that of a bias ply. To keep it simple, performance bikes use radial for a reason. Either bias play on both ends or radials at the both ends, not vice one radial and one bias ply. It can hamper performance, if demanded.

    Please dont go for Michelin Sirac street for rear since the tread buttons cause vibes at different speeds.

    I replaced the tyres to Michelin recently and getting vibes at 22kmph. This issue is already discussed in the forum and happens exclusively for cb Unicorn 150.

    Better to stick with MRF OR CEAT.

    P.S. Although I am getting vibes & not happy this is an excellent tyre, it offers superior road grip, very smooth to ride, excellent cornering ability, reduced braking distance.

    Cheers!

    Plus the wet grip is terrible.
