    Thanks [MENTION=80969]Vattsy[/MENTION] for the info

    Hi all, am due for a tyre change on my Pulsar 220. I wanted to put Michelin Pilot Streets at both front and rear. But i couldnt find the right size at the front which must be 90/90. The available size is 110/70. Can someone give me inputs on upsizing from 90/90 to 110/70?
    Dont upsize the front else handling will be affected badly. Pilot sporty is available in 90/90 sizes but doesnt provide good wet grip. U can upsize the rear by only 1 size i.e 120/80 to 130/70. For better cornering and road grip use the mrf zapper fy1 80/90 at the front and mrf revz s 130/70 at the rear both being the stock r15 v2 tyres

    Can someone suggest a good pair of rubbers for p 220
    Durability and handling bad roads are the only requirements

    But the tubeless tyres which are available are all 110/80. Stock 100/90 available are all tubed tyres [emoji17]

    Thanks for your input. I too inspected the Zapper and Pilot Sporty tyre personally and you were correct. Got MRF Zapper FX-1 for my front tyre.

    What size Zapper Q you have opted for 120-80 or 130-70 and the price you have quoted 2600 is it same for tubeless or juse for one with tube.
    Hello funrider

    I went ahead with the stock size (100/90) since anything bigger will need mild modification of swing arm for Karizma. Zapper Q I got was tubeless type. Since my rims do not support tubeless tyre I retained my old tube as it was in good condition and used the tubeless zapper as a tube type tyre. Yes the price mentioned is for the tyre only.

    The location was given because Pilot Sporty were initially made in Thailand and they were good. Since more than couple of years, they are being made in India by TVS and now the compounds is different and they are really bad. Where as Pilot Street Radial are very good tyres and they provide immense grip on both wet and dry. Cornering with them is fun as well. 130 section of Pilot Radial can be used on CBR and R15's rear.
