    • ^^ Most of the sizes are not available in India even for the rears!

      I also used a white marker which is usually used as an eraser. And it takes a lot of patience and energy to do this... I cudn't find a clearer pic than this....

      • ^^^ true !

        oh so u used the liquid paper, man tats too much work as tat pen has a kinda ball point tip, well i have got the marker which has fatter tip.
        but still filling the MICHELIN would be really painful.
        You have done a neat job thou.

              - MRF Zapper FY 80/80 (1400/- tubeless). He said that these were R15 tyres. Could anyone please confirm?

              Rear- IRC110/80 (2400/- tubeless)
              -Duro 120/80 (2000)
              - Zapper S 100/80 (1900 tubelss) He said that these were also R15 tyres. Could anyone please confirm?

              I feel that he has quoted quite a high price for the IRC one. I think it should be for a max of 2000/-
              What say guys? Should i go for the Zapper FY and IRC combo? the IRC has a thread pattern similar to Zappers, but the rubber is supposed to be softer...
              Aren't The RATES VERY HIGH...

                  It costs 50 bucks for both tyres , as it was first time,

                  well i dunno i felt tyre felt better, just before that i applied brakes hard and tyre skidded but bike maintained balance better than my pulsar.

                  I havent checked peformance difference or anything as of now, nor the mileage will check from tommorow or day after

                            Undoubtedly he's asking for a very high price...i guess he just thinks he's really exclusive....how much do u think i should try to bring him down to for both?

                              • ok I dunno about mileage yet, but yes tyre feels much better i tried putting brakes hard today but almost no wobbling, also i touched tyre it was much cooler, i really do not think performance can be increased buy tyre, but yes i was feeling a little drag with normal air, which i think has reduced, but yes i can take more sharper turns with ease now.

                                bike is in run in period so cant really say if performance i feel more air.
