    Re: Tyres

    Bought this puncture repair kit for 275rs from local shop.
    Here in pune 1 puncture costs 80-100rs
    So total cost will recover in 3 punctures!!

    According to wet grip i will arrange them as vyde then secura then zapper c . Vyde is best.
    None of this tyre is offroad compatible {like on dirt tracks} .
    Though secura will perform better on rural broken or no tarmac roads.
    So make ur choice accordingly.

    I think , new cbz extreme comes with 80/100 TL as standard for front ,nowadays.

    1.MRF Zapper Q = hard compound, lasts long , less grip

    3.MRF Mogrip Meteor= ride may become harsh, high speed wobble, but good grip
    4.MRF Zapper Vyde = best grip but less life
    5.Michelin Sirac Street =avoid

    8.Ceat Secura Sport= good , less life
    9.Ceat Zoom = avoid
    10.Ceat Gripp= same as mrf meteor.

    Front
    1.MRF Zapper FM=good
    2.MRF Zapper FS=good
    3.Michelin Sirac Street= avoid

    80/100 front is a good upgrade but check its fit with mudguard.

    Dimensions..front - 2.75 * 18
    back - 100/90 * 18
    I want to stick to stock size only as it is the best for the bike. I have shortlisted the following tyres.
    Back
    1.MRF Zapper Q
    2.MRF Zapper C
    3.MRF Mogrip Meteor
    4.MRF Zapper Vyde
    5.Michelin Sirac Street
    6.Dunlop Monster
    7.Dunlop Geocruiser
    8.Ceat Secura Sport
    9.Ceat Zoom
    10.Ceat Gripp

    Front
    1.MRF Zapper FM
    2.MRF Zapper FS
    3.Michelin Sirac Street

    I am hearing a lot of negative reviews about Sirac Street ( Indian) & about Dunlops.I need decent grip in both dry & wet road. Could somebody suggest which one to go along.
    The bike is currently running with Zappers with tube.Can I use tubeless as wheels are alloys.Also I saw MRF Zapper FQ (80/100-TL).Is it good as front tyre & can i use it in the place of ( 2.75*18) ?All suggestions are heartily wecome.


    Thanks,

    I personally used the zoom xl on p220 . When new it was too good but as u clock some kms(in my case after 3000km use) it performed totally different , under normal breaking rear tend to get locked in dry condition.
    Zapper Q is hard compound tyre , i think Q =quantity that is more kms life . Revz is radial , zapper c is good. Make your choice.

    Yeah the dry grip is excellent, have done off roading too, has good grip in dry.

    My question is which one should i buy ?
    How much life should i expect from a radial tyre ?

    Any reviews about revz s ? Is it puncture prone ?
    Go for revz s because 130/70 is the stock size for ns200

    Using revz s1 will decrease acceleration n height will increase by 7mm
