Thanx Rachit..but any idea about tubeless tires?

hmmm.. not much idea on Tubeless though, I think Michellin has them..
may be you can call them up & enquire..

Tubeless tyres will be expensive. One I could think of is Pirelli Sport Demon 110/90 18 tubeless but may cost you more i guess. Certainly there are many more brands available.

FYI: I just got fitted Mrf Metoer 110 at rear for my ZMA, its with tube. Nice grip & the size of it is very much perfect. Since its not too big or slim. Got it for 2000, all tube & fitting. Though directly from MRF, its just for 1600. Previously had Dunlop Geo-Cruiser 120, looked awesome, grip sucks.!

Hello Guys

I have completed 10500kms on my R15 thinking about changin the rear tyre

thought of IRC 120/70 or 110/70 i do not want to change anyting in the swing arm by fitting huge tyres

I am thinking that IRC 120/70 or 110/70 would fit easily without any modifications

Have any of the r15 owners fitted these tryes in there bikes

need to know how is the performance?

i own the IRC 120/70-17. on P180 though. nice pattern and stylish. its good on dry roads but spins wildly if it smells water 50mtrs away!

so think good before going for it for your 1lack framed baby...

RaviKiran's option for the front IRC's look promising, but since I have time I'm slowly searching for better options!

Next tyre change for me is a good 15K kms away...

Am not too keen on IRCs though, after seeing the plight of Ajinkyas tyres after offroading.
The tyres had got some good deep cuts, altough no air leakage but cuts very really prminent.

Chilled Fire..u have Michelin Sirac on ur bike right...?...Are those tubeless?

**chilled_fire** · 03-09-2009, 06:20 PM

By default Michs are tubeless but for India they had made it available with tube.
So, u can use any of the mich tyres as tubeless.

But arent the tubeless tires hard compound..?...wouldnt it be a problem setting them up as tubeless?

**chilled_fire** · 03-09-2009, 06:49 PM

^^^ well tats not entirely true, Siracs are hard compound but if u see IRCs or even MRF revz then they are soft compound, Most of the Off road tyres are hard compound.
i am using Siracs from last 1.5K kms and RaviKiran's using it from a long time now.

. Naughty kids. Once they played with my car tyre and removed the air. I looked for a puncture but did not find anyone. Filled air and it wored fine. Later found that the kids are the culprits. They even put some scratches on the bonnet, trying to imprint some letters.
