Helloo guys I am sick of the RTR Fi's rear tyre
.Just want to change it to some better ones but they shouldn't harm the bike's handling which is its forte
.
So guys please suggest some better rear as well as front tyre options.
Thanks in advance.

The pattern of that tyre is very similar to the R15 front tyre. Only doubt I have is, what I heard is rear tyres don't have the central groove, whereas front is mandatory. So, does this pic mean that rear tyres can also have the central groove?Originally posted by ravi@17bhp View PostThanks Inder!! The tyre pattern almost looks like R-15 tyre. Had it been a 110 section, it would have been nice.
I will post the pics of my Zma with Sirac soon.Quench my thirst with gasoline!Comment

Are you talking about Zapper Y? Let me caution you - the grip really sucks... and it fishtails on hard braking! And its the worst on gravel/sand and wet roads.Originally posted by ceasar View Post
Dudes, never use a tyre as tubeless unless its marked tubeless on the sidewall!! Tubeless tyres are mede different in more ways than one. Don't take chances with such critical things!! Don't forget your life and bones can depend on it.Originally posted by inder.cool View PostComment

Umar is using iRC on his Unicorn which he got for 2300rs for front and rear.Originally posted by ravi@17bhp View PostI am looking at Vee rubber for the front tyre.
Here is the link for the album, he said they are tubeless but he has spoke wheels so he is using with tubes.
Front is 2.75-18
Rear is 100/90-18
This might help u for changing your front tyres
1000% right saidOriginally posted by Raccoon View Post The compound of tubeless is hard and heavier than tubed type.

Na..no tubes for me..!!Originally posted by HydBiker View Post
Ya, thats what i heard that M45 can be used as a Tubeless one..!! But, i heard from a lot of ppl that its not safe to use the tube type tyres as tubeless ones..!!Originally posted by ravi@17bhp View PostOne disadvantage of Tubeless tyre is, in the case of a rim bend, even the slightest, you will have a flat. It is not the case with tubed tyre.
The guy at Michelin told even M45 can be fitted as a tubeless. Try once.
Hmm..i also checked with the Michelin tyre dealer in Mumbai..he told that the Michelins offered there are of Tube type but can be used as Tubeless type..!Originally posted by HydBiker View Post
Hmm..thanx for warnings..!Originally posted by Raccoon View Post will try not to put them..
but, just a thought...will there be a air leak if we use tube type tyres as tubeless..?
Ohh ok..!! Thanx for that..but what to do IRC tyres are not available these days for 18 inch rims..Originally posted by Shreeni0403 View Post

Hey Guys,
I do not like the rear tyre on my gladiator... Its a 3X18" tyre... It has decent grip on road but lot of times i have noticed that it tends to fishtail on braking... Will going for a size bigger help? Just a size or two bigger than the present tyre as i do not want to mess up the handling of the bike which is really good... Or is it a prob with the alignment of the wheel or something along those lines... All suggestions are welcome.. Thank you....Comment

^^^ up-sizing by one or two sizes shouldn't be a problem but before that make sure that you don't run on over inflated tyres and that you don;t slam the rear brake first or use only rear brake... otherwise, even if you get a 5" tyre in place of 3" you would skid.Comment

I got a M45 today it cost 1500 with bill and a Tuffup tube 325 rs
got it changed while changing checked and found that the bearings of the rearend were all broke we changed the breaings and the coupling of the rear end now no fishtailing. and great grip.
though the 3 x 18 seems to be bit too PATLA.
would try to get a 4 x18 and then move the 3x18 to the front.|NO WHEELS|Comment

I hardly ever use only my rear brake. I go as per manual and most suggestions and use both the breaks together for effective breaking. And I keep the air pressure on check according to company requirements. What would your suggestion of a good upsize be?? And which tyres offer the best road grip??^^^ up-sizing by one or two sizes shouldn't be a problem but before that make sure that you don't run on over inflated tyres and that you don;t slam the rear brake first or use only rear brake... otherwise, even if you get a 5" tyre in place of 3" you would skid.Comment

Since the thing is just not designed to run tubeless, you can of course expect faster air loss. The rubber is bound to be more permiable.Originally posted by inder.cool View Post

The problem is not size. Even a bycyle tyre can brake in a straight line!!Originally posted by prashanth lobo View Post
Which tyre are you currently using? My Shogun used to fishtail badly on the old tyres. I just changed them to Dunlops of the same size and its gone!! My new CBZ has Zapper Y tyres (which are of course broader than the Shogun's tyres!) and they fishtail on emergency braking! So IMO get the right tyre... don't count upsizing to solve the problem.Comment

Check the tyre size conversion chart posted by someone a few pages back. IMO 3.00*18" corresponds to 90/90*18". So, you can safely go for 100/90*18". Tubed or tubeless, which brand etc. is your personal choice&affordability.Originally posted by prashanth lobo View Post Once you have shortlisted, many can give you feedback here!
