    Try to refit tyre on machine . If it's not fitted correctly ,ur problem will get solved. Or
    ,If it's a new tyre u can use it with tube or get it replaced under warranty.

    Dude, replace ASAP. Could lead to sudden deflation upon impact like unexpected potholes or temperature expansion during sustained high speed riding.
    Either will cause loss of steering control, which is not a pretty situation.

    My R15's inner beading was also damaged by a roadside shop.
    I have seen and made experienced guys do the fitting without a machine too. All comes down to skill levels.

    Hi,

    Could somebody suggest a good pair of rubbers for the CBR250R, preferably with an off road advantage. I was all set to go in for the Michelin radials but their off roading capability is somewhat unreliable (read puncture prone). I plan to ride to Ladakh this September from Hyderabad and would like to go in for something that has a touring/ mild off roading capability

    Approved and merged!

    Knobby tires for what? There are plenty of online and offline stores nationwide that sell knobby tires. Where are you located?

    Is it advisable to use 100/90 R18 tyre size when stock is 110/90 R18?

    I am looking to replace the rear tyre of my RE classic 350. I have used Zapper tyre as well as Ceat Vertigo Rage previously (120/80 R18).

    Can someone throw light on the issues that can possibly happen if I opt for 100/90 profile. I know that the height will reduce by 9mm. But other than that will it have any effect
    on the ride quality, stability etc.
    This tyre change is for the planned Leh ride on September with wife as pillion.
