Re: Tyres

You can also look at duke 200's rear tyre. 150/60 17. But its of more rounder profile.
Don't know other options.

Re: Tyres

Hey sorry im late
Fz rear tyres your in a fix. Stock tyres are good but as we all know they are a puncture magnet.

Now this is what I would do

mrf revs 130/17 r15 v2 rear tyre(excellent on dry tarmac, good on wet tarmac, bad on rough roads and off road sections, lasts okish, soft compound tyre)

Ceat dhoom 140/17(soft compound tyre, similar to the above mrf revs, also quite good looking of it matters)

Mrf zapper q 130/17(medium compound, lasts longer but grips lesser too, decent all round performance, nothing awsome about it, aam admi tyre performance:P)

Mrf revs 140/17( same as its 130 section brother)

Dunlop grip tube type 140/17(harder wearing tyre, bad on wet tarmac, good for off road bits and looks cool! Bad for extreme braking)

Continental contigo 140/17(cbr 250 tyre, slightly heavy, pain joe performance on a fz, same tyre on a cbr is a nightmare its that bad! But on a fz its pretty good, have used it in a fazer felt good overall not pirelli sticky obviously, bad for off road muddy gravel bits)

Ceat vertigo 130/17 (rare)( looks like a motocross tyre, nobby, quite good on tarmac, excellent on wet weather, good on off road bits, best all rounder)

Mrf zapper q 140/17(same as 130 counterpart)

Re: Tyres


You didn't mentioned Michelin bro,what about this tyre from michelin Pilot street radial.

Re: Tyres

They are really awesome........ But a little costly....

Re: Tyres

I have never used a bike with michelin radials and they are new too.
As far as I have heard they are as soft compounds as m45s and pirells used to be. Unfortunately the price tag is a let down

Re: Tyres

Thanks for the help. Ruling out 130 tyres, since one of my friend had used it on his FZ and he had faced serious fish tailing issues with it.

Michelin Pilot Street Radial is real good tyre. But, costs whopping 5.2k for rear tyre. It is 140/70 17 profile.


Cheerz!!

Re: Tyres

The newer stock mrf tyres are really good. I mean since i had changed the tyre 7-8k kms (in november i think), i had only one puncture (may it stay like this only), and its not even revz-m. M would be even better.

Re: Tyres

Finally some positive review of new Revz stock. Also, your post on Duke tyre, is it 150/60 17 or 140/70 17? If i am not wrong, Duke tyre is Michelin (as per my talks with various tyre shops).

Cheerz!!

Re: Tyres

Duke 200 uses MRF tyres as stock and its 150/60 17 size. It has got really good reviews, in both dry and wet conditions.

Re: Tyres

5200/- rs ! , my goodness, that's pretty costly tyre, but what's so special in this tyre.

Re: Tyres

Its a radial tyre my brother,
And very soft compound too.
Being a radial tyre its more resistant to flexing and deforming even on a little lower air,
Overall a superior design.
More puncture resistant too.
And man it grips!

Re: Tyres

Michelins are costly for 2 wheelers or 4 wheelers. But, it is a VFM product. My friend has used Michelin Pilot Steel radial on his bike and he says use it with closed eyes.

Cheerz!!

Re: Tyres

Hmm no doubt if its soft compound it will give leech like grip, but then will it not wear faster,plus dont you think its just too much money spending on an mere 150cc bike(i hope iam not hurting fzs owner pls dont take it personally).

Re: Tyres

Yes it will wear out faster and is bad on rough terrain and off road sections....
But on tarmac its leach.
Sometimes people will spend a lot on the performance needed,
An fz is an amazing handler and it deserves even better tyres
But then the price is a deal breaker for many.
Anyways depends on individuals.
