TL tyres are direct fit to CBZ alloys unless your rims are bend. I changed both front and back to TL.Completed some 9K and till now no issues. But last week when I was returning from Pune, i hit a pothole at Kharghar so badly.I thought my forks are gone.But nothing happened.After that am observing a dip in pressure in front but there is no visible bend.Maybe there will be a small bend and air will be leaking.Am getting busy , no time to check ,then the most easy & fun part-fill air & ride-
that's a real piece of mind that TL tyres give.
My back tyre got punctured once and I fixed it myself ( Note that the tyre guy will charge you 100 or more where as you can get a good kit from Amazon under 300 ).
So I say TL is very good and you can proceed with your old rims.
Thanks

I changed my CBZ Extreme tyres
Back-- Zapper Vyde 100/90 - 18 tubeless - cost Rs.2300
Front - - Zapper FS 80/100 -18 tubeless - cost Rs.1700
Two valves as I am changing from tube type to tubeless - Rs.200
6 month nitrogen - Rs.150
The total cost was Rs.4350 . I changed it from MRF centre - Prem tyres , Chembur , Mumbai . Zapper Vyde 100/90 - 18 is hard to source. Also the lady in the shop told me that there is a 3 year warranty .
60 Km done now. Feels good and the grip is also very good. I don't corner much normally as I had a fall earlier
but now I am able to corner the bike. Have to see how much I can.
And thanks for the help to choose the tyre.
Update
After riding for a good 225Km in Mumbai rains and roads..the tyres are super grippy. You can curise at high speeds an can attack corners very easily. Even if you didn't bend the bike , it will do it automatically . After a small ride of 30K itself , you will feel the grip and gives you much confidence. Even in heavy mumbai rains, these tyres didn't slipped once. These are not offroad tyres. The vehicle also fels smooth to drive

Re: Tyres
Good quality Sealant won't cause any damage to rims. But if you leave your bike unused for a long time it will accumulate at the valve area making it a bit tough to top up air.
For the tyre, 120 will make the bike sluggish so I would suggest go with Pulsar tyre 100/90 if you really want to.Leave a comment:

Re: Tyres
Hi guys.
It has been 500 kms since my front Tyre upgrade to the Ceat gripp 3.00-17 (for better off-road grip and as an experiment I wanted to try). Handle was weighed up by 15-20% . But it is not much of a problem for me . The Tyre just holds its line on every terrain I tried (road , slush , sand , gravel). Braking feedback is just awesome( can feel the Tyre gripping even under hard breaking)Attached FilesLeave a comment:
