I like mrf zapper q but i guess zapper q is available in 18inch diameter only

    Please suggest me options with 90mm height.

    P.S. Ceat gripp xl is attracting because of its all round ability and ceat's quality.

    Go with the ceat gripp best all rounder right now. But I don't know why it is difficult to source here.

    +1. I'm also using Michelin Pilot Street Radials (140/70) rear and MRF Zapper/FX (100/80) on my Fazer, and agree with the mentioned points.
    Most michelins are better than most mrf zappers(barring mrf revs etc), though I find a lot of weird manufacturing issues with michelins now a days. Also tvs is now makin tyres for michelin....soooo we know where the problem is.

    I have a pulsar 220 with stock 120/80 17
    The pirelli ,available ,is 130/80 17 for ₹3600 made in Brazil

    What type of improvement can i except from pirelli over mrf zapper c ??

    Road condition is really bad here in my city , so i dont want a puncture prone tyre

    Share your thoughts friends ..

    CyanogenMod 11 d2att

    That tyre is a leach on tarmac and evdn good on perfectly good tarmac on wet, unfortunately its very soft compound, highly puncture prone, not ment for bad roads and rubbbish in mud etc off road bits. The tyre is awesome but its not ideal for what you need. I would look away towards michelins and ceats if I had roads as bad as you say
    Hope it helps brother

        According to me zapper c is a hard compond tyre which comes as default tyre with p150 but zapper q is medium compound tyre with good grip on both dry and wet roads.
        Correct me if I am wrong

            Got the Ceat Vertigo Rage fitted into my Classic 500....i went for a 80kms ride just to set the tire in...at the end of the ride I found the tires to be exceptionally good..quite sticky...i believe its a proper highway tyre...I chose it over the Ceat Vertigo Sport as it had button threading and I'm not much of an offroader....plus the pricing had a big difference... so i went ahead and got it at a steal price of just Rs.2100. Had to fit a tube as I still use the spoked rims...used Michelin Heavy duty tubes....cost me Rs.350...
            The bike feels more nimble now since the tyre has a better curve......total VFM
            Recommended to all...!!

I wanted to see how much the lower profile(90/80 instead of 90/90) of tyre increases the gap btw the tyre and mud guard.

                Hello all,

                I'm looking for Yamaha R15 V1's rear tire 100/80-17 52P. I have a few queries:

                1. Is the stock tire still in production?
                2. Also I'm not sure if it's MRF Zapper S or not (I don't have my bike with me right now)
                3. B'lore bhpians, can you name some big or well known tire shops in Bangalore?

                Thanks a ton in advance.

                  Hi,

                  Need Help,

                  I am a proud owner of Royal Enfield.
                  I have decided to change the wheels on my bike. I was looking for Shinko super classic 270 130/90-16" tire. I even tried buying the tire through Online shopping but due to customs restrictions, it was not cleared.


                  It would be great if you guys could help me get this tyre or similar size tyres from any brand or point me toward the vendor who can support me in getting the same?

                  BR

                    Hello members, I needed some help regarding my Avenger.

                    My bike's rear tyre is 130/90-15 and front one is 90/90-17.

                    I want to replace the tyre, but every shop saying that only MRF zapper is available for that size. If someone have some idea about different tyre, please notify me.

                    Other thing is, have anyone used SLIME TUBE SEALANT? I wanted the review for it. Is it worth purchase? Because on Flipkart, it's 660/- per bottle.

                    Thanks in advance.

                        On the Slime website, it's clear written that best for use in tube tyres.

                          It literally, drastically improves traction, braking, cornering and handling while preventing wheel locks during downshifting... I cannot imagine how much of street capacity Honda sacrifices by using ContiGo as stock on this steed. Basically if you are a CBR250r rider on ContiGos ... i can safely say you haven't fully experienced the bike yet... It responds even better on the mentioned set of wheels.

                          Cheers all.
                          Hi Vykier, How much did you pay for rear Michelin Pilot Street Radials? I'm looking for new rear tyre for my CBR too.
                          Is there a difference in Radials and Tubeless tyres?

                          Thanks

                            Hey Amit... Michelin Rear for CBR250r should cost anywhere near 5k... it is slightly costlier than normal tubeless but worth it.

                            Radial tyres have been proven to deliver better handling, safety and slower wear... The Michelins are the first to make radials for 250cc bikes... until now you'd get radials for only bigger cc bikes.

                            Have a good one mate,

                            Cheers.

                              What will be the cost for the same.
