    Hi, any info on how MRF vyde ranks against SD?
    First of all,You cant compare an Pirelli with MRF. Vyde and SD are both Soft compound tires,SD lasts up to 15k,as per user feedback's,there are vyde users who had changed the tyres at 5-6k.

    Thanks..
    Dunlop Monster is a soft compound tyre,The center portion will wear off at nearly 8k,better get Sirac Sreet 100/90-18.

    You cant repair a bend alloys by heating,it isnt the best way to fix it,put ur bike in center stand and rotate the tyre using hand and check for bends in the alloys.

    Or is the tyre dislocated somehow & refitting the tyre would solve it?? Or some problem with sidewall of tyre or beading??
    May work,Try it

    See my FZ's stock rear tyre (140/60-17) is totally gone within 12000km, and now I am planning to go for a new tyre, and considering the followings, kindly suggest which one will be good in terms of long life, value for money & mostly less friendly with nails, my options are as follows:

    1) Zapper C 120/80-17- Rs. 2200.00 (My choice)
    2) Zapper Vyde 130/70-17 = Rs. 2600.00
    3) R15 V2 rear 130/70-17 = Rs. 3000.0

    Thanks in advance.

    The best option for Fz will be the Dunlop 140/70-17 and Pirelli SD 130/70-17,140 is very rare and its out of market due to ISI mark problem..

          Pirelli Sport Demon is Soft Compound,doesnt mean it means more punctures. Dunlop is not that soft IMO,Get PSD,if not available get Dunlop.

              MRF Vyde is also a great tyre but wears out faster than PSD.

                    Bro, i have used MRF Vyde, never felt it be less on life, have heard PSD to fade off faster because its pretty much soft compound, but mrk vyde , i dont thin is soft compound.

                    Cheers

                      The problem need not necessarily be with your rim.It can be a faulty tyre too.I suggest you take a near puncture wallah, Remove the tyre from the rim.Get the Rim home(Thats why i said a "near puncture wallah") and give it a thorough brushing with soap and a scrubber especially where the tyre seats on the rim.Also check is the rim is properly round.Make sure all the debris are cleared off .Take the rim back and get the tyre fitted back.Then inflate to 35 PSI.Drop the tyre from 4 feet height at different points so that it gets seated properly. Then reduce the pressure to 26 PSI. Use it for a couple of days and see if the pressure is still dropping. If so then its a tyre issue and you have to replace the tyre.This procedure wont cost you more than 50 bucks. And you can rule out the rim bend too.

                      Note-Before and after you do this,Take some soap solution in a mug and pour is along the rim-tyre junction on both the sides.Leave for a minute.You can then clearly see the area where the air is leaking because it will be full of froth!

                      Thanks a lot for replies.. I took it to the local puncture shop & told him to remove the tyre to inspect whats wrong inside (he was very much insistent that its rim bend & cannot be solved without fitting a tube ) & to my surprise, there was lot of dirt in the beading!! No idea how it got there.. He cleaned it thoroughly & refitted it back & problem solved .. Checked after two weeks now & there is no pressure drop..
                      Ride hard.. Ride safe.. Always!

                            In rear in have MRF Zapper Q for (1 year old). I ride around 50km daily on smooth road.
                            I am looking to buy a front Tyre for it .
                            Could you please suggest which tyre to go for Tubeless or Tube for better grip
                            & mileage and which Company to go for . I am daily rider ( Avg speed 55 km ) & preffer to use
                            front disk brakes.

                            Does tubeless tyres degrade the the mileage

                              Tyre selection for Honda Stunner CBF

                              Hi,

                              This is my 1st post, i own a Honda Stunner CBF since Sept 2008, bike is very responsive and good feel.
                              The rear tyre has almost gone and i am confused about which tyre should i buy, i want a tubeless heavy tyre.
                              The present rear tyre is 100/90 17 of MRF. I did some research what these numbers stand for MC Tire Designations | Products | Motorcycle Tires | Bridgestone Corporation

                              I checked out findTyre - motorcycle.michelin.in, it is a tubetyre, local mechanic is saying he can fit it as tubeless, i called Michelin, they told me they donot recommend this tyre to be used as tubeless.

                              So basically i want a 17" radial tyre, Can i use any one of these 17" options, like 130/70R17

                              Also suggest the best possible option
