      Yeah man i am using zapper q only... got the tire from a cbr150 owner just after 500 kms of usage. Total total bakwas... its good as long as you are riding sanely.... or to put it the other way the tyre simpy is unable to take the power of the ns.. getting wheelspins in wet road. While pulling a wheelie the tyre spins and then the front go up. Hard braking or to be more specific, harsh downshifts like from 6th to 2nd makes the rear slide and screech very very badly without any kind if feedback and then inside the corner while leaned the tire does go sideways and when i give the gas midcorner it starts spinning and drifting.... i had a revz-s installed before this and never had these kind of scary moments... very bad grip in sand amd water...
      Can you plz give me pics and pricing details of michelin pilot sporty amd vyde of 140 or 130 size... 17 inch rim

        Zapper VYDE is avlbl in 120 150 and 170 and not 140 but he can use the 150. And you're right MPS isn't avlbl in the 140 section. But the man gave you choices, so what do you expect. It may be for a different bike, I have no clue, he asked for a suggestion, I gave him my suggestion.

        Secondly, Tuff Grip is avlbl in the 140/70 it's a soft compound, and it's a good tire too.

        VYDE and MPS are good for their spec, and Dunlop comes second, but this is a good tyre too.

        Cheers!

        Once upon a time, a guy asked a girl 'Will you marry me?'
        The girl said, 'NO!'


        And the guy lived happily ever after and rode motorcycles and watched sport on a big screen TV, went fishing and surfing, and played golf a lot, and drank beer and scotch and had tons of money in the bank and left the toilet seat up and farted whenever he wanted.

            Zapper vyde 150 is available in 17? Price...? Mps available in 130...? Any idea...? Not getting one in kolkata. Tuff grip is awesome but the rear end jumps a lot..it makes the ride very bumpy and harsh. Would like to have a mps on my ride coz i am in love with mps which i ad n my earlier bike

                • Re: Tyres

                  Michelin Sirac Street by default is a hard compound, no wonder it's getting thumbs down reviews. And Rahulbarik, I have no clue as to the price, as you can ask them at the MRF retailers themselves, doesn't take much time, right.

                  Rreneav, using more than the recommended air pressure on a harder compound tire will indeed negatively impact handling in cornering and when hard braking traction requirements. The only advantage of a hard compound is it lasts long, and resists punctures, whereas a sof compound is polar opposite, like PSD which shred like bread crumbs, posted by our own Sird.

                  Going two to three PSI lower than the recommended PSI on a hard compound is indeed a wise idea when you consider off roading/gravel roads etc. And this way the MSS performs good, at least okay-ish.

                    I have ordered both tyres for my p220 . They were not available and will get in 2 days .
                    For front ceat zoom 90/90-17 price 1250rs . I wasnt knowing this tyre is available in this size and tubeless . No data about this anywhere . But shopkepper said new tyres are not listed on website . And this is tubeless .
                    For rear ceat vertogo rage 120/80-17 price 2100 rs .
                    Are both the prices genuine or hes ripping ?

                          I don't know about it being TL - if it's a TL tyre, there will be a TL marking on the tyre, check for that.
                          There are 3 zooms in the Ceat range. For front, one is the normal Secura Zoom (with a straight groove, that looks like the MRF zapper FS), one is the Zoom F (with a wavy groove). For rear, you have Ceat Zoom in a wavy pattern.

                          The first tyre here (from L to R) is the Secura Zoom.

                            I asked the shopkeeper about price .he said mrf tyres are having original price lowrr than ceat . But dealers are asking much more due to low supply . And same is with ceat in few places . They are asking ceat bit higher so that price of mrf doesnt seem too high .
                            Shopkeeper told me that price of zapper fs is 1300 rs but in market its sold at 1750 rs prices are hiked by dealers .

                              Yes, I can understand that mate.. but the reason i put up the question is.. no matter how good the tire is.. with more air pressure, it sure is going to jump off the roads.. I have experienced this with many tires and i had to reduce the air pressure and it was better

                              so I am sure something is wrong with the air pressure

                                Ok so hows the gripp ? In dry wet ?
                                Is it a good tyre ?

                                I asked the shopkeeper about price .he said mrf tyres are having original price lowrr than ceat . But dealers are asking much more due to low supply . And same is with ceat in few places . They are asking ceat bit higher so that price of mrf doesnt seem too high .
                                Shopkeeper told me that price of zapper fs is 1300 rs but in market its sold at 1750 rs prices are hiked by dealers .
                                AK3D can answer you. As you can see above, he got the Zooms recently.
                                You can ride a Motorcycle any day of the month. ;)
