    Re: Tyres

    I'm getting Metzeler rear for 6800₹.
    But the life would be again 10-11k hardly for my kind of riding.

    My friends are using Michelin Street Pilot 2. 140 and 150 size tyres. They are claiming the life to be 20-21k easily. Though the grip is not like Metzeler's and we all know we have to compromise something.
    I'm not doing track, I'm just riding it on streets & touring.

    So where in Delhi can I find Michelin tyre for some discounted price ?

    It was priced around 7.5k when I checked it couple of months back at Bangalore.

    Last time i checked, the price was around 13k for metz and 15 k for pirelli. It is better to stick with stock sizes considering the prices of 160/60

    Positives:
    1. Amazing dry grip on tarmac and decent grip on gravel.
    2. Wet grip is much better than stock tyres, didn't push it much.
    3. Good value for money
    4. Very few options are available for 18" wheels, this one seems to be the safe bet.

    Negatives:
    1. 110 section with stock front does't have any advantage over 100 section except for looks, while taking decent lean angles thin front tyre does't allow the bike to lean enough to use the extra width.
    2. 110 section seem to be very tight fit.
    Few & very short reviews on zapper q usually. Much appreciated. [MENTION=26348]giridhar[/MENTION] :thumbup:

    I had changed my sz-r ('s) front tyre to zoom-f tt 2.75-17 & rear to zapper q 100/90 tt.
    Coming from tvs tyres it was a welcome change. Have done about 4000-5000 kms with this setup.
    Front ceat holds up really well in "gravel" while rear mrf is shaky.
    Wet - I was leaning a bit on the highway in torrential rains when there were wide sweeping turns & not once did the tyres felt like they would give way. But that wet trail on a dry road will always produce a minor wobble.
    Dry - haven't tested them to their limits but both give decent grip levels.
    And this is what I wanted eventually, as otherwise vyde & pirelli series are not unknown to me

    Durability and handling bad roads are the only requirements
    rear : mrf meteor - your stock size
    front : try for stock size in ceat zoom-f model & mrf series of front tyres (fv,fq,fx...)

    Re: Tyres

    Hello all,

    I have a Hero Achiever (2015) and feel that the rear wheel and tyre are too skinny for a 150cc byke. Also the cornering isn't good with the existing setup. Feeling my ride isn't planted on road.

    Current setup:
    Rear Alloy wheel 1.6J x 18"
    Rear Tyre MRF zapper 3.00 x 18" TT (Guess with Tuff up tube).

    Planning for the below mods,

    Rear Alloy wheel 2.15J x 18" (CBZ 2010 Rear alloy)
    Rear tyre 100/90 R18 or 100/80 R18

    kindly help, if I can swap the Alloy alone and use my existing 3.00 x 18" MRF zapper (Will this be too smaller for the new Rim/Alloy) ( Is it a safe fit?)
    I can hardly see less than 10mm gap between tyre and swing arm/chain case/ break supporter (side wise), so will a 100/90 ok for that gap?

    Also suggest on which bearings to get (Hero OEM/SKF/NBC/FAG/TATA)
    BTW Two Bearings (6302U ) required for rear Alloy
