    So I guess MRF revz is the only option I got
    Does it perform better than contigo on cbr...?

    Always! Duke 200 tyres are excellent! Go ahead... its a little bad on off road bits and wet sections but then thats ok. Youcant get the best of both worlds unless your on an m45 go ahead mrf revs is awsome

      Guys, a little urgent help needed here.
      I am not getting CEAT Zoom/vertigo in the profile 100/90-18" tubeless. Almost all of the shops and even a distributor told me that there is no supply of tubeless tyres in the specific profile by CEAT. I desperately need to change my rear Zapper Y (almost in new condition) to a Zoom or a Vertigo for the Ladakh ride. Tubed ones are available but going by the puncture prone region that Ladakh-Leh is, I don't want to take chances with a tubed type. Any leads on where I can source it from? And has CEAT really stopped the production of the same profile in TL types?

      Thanks

          Problem with the tubeless ceat 18's the lack of sales because most bukes with tubeless 18s either come with tvs or mrfs as oem suppliers.... and the general public tends to get the tyre replaced with the oem ones. I called up a dealerfriend and he said tubeless vertigos and zoom tyres are available from the company but dealers dont wana stock it because of the demand. Bad luck here bro.
          Now, call up ceat from the company websites no, and they will get you to a shop that stocks them asap and will even sendthe tyre to the dealer if you mention one. Best of luck for the ladakh ride , god bless you:beer:

                        Sorry for the late reply,
                        You need a tyre change that can survive what ladakh and will be good for tarmac corners too....I wish you gor0t exticnt m45s for your specs.... but evn we cant. Now, have a look at ceat dhoom, or any of the michelin pilot sporty radial (not the non radials!) They are about the same compound softness asnyour stocks but a wee bit more puncture resistant.
                        You cant get the best of both worlds mate.... off roading, good tarmac cornering, and puncture resistant its like 2 different tyres

                            If it matters I rode a cbr150 with it, gripped pretty nice and breaking performace was very good but on bumps I felt it was unforgiving a little

                              Guys, I am not getting CEAT tubeless tyres in the profile 100/90-18 anywhere. And the dealers in Ranchi and Jamshedpur and some even in Kolkata are hell bent on convincing me that even tube type tyres without the tubes would work as good as TL ones. Going by their logic, why should the tyre manufacturers spend on 'stamping' a tyre as TUBELESS? They could have easily mentioned that tubed ones can be used as TL as well.

                              I am in a dilemma now. Given the extreme shortage of time at hand to get the tyre changed and the pressure of getting a tubeless one.

                              However, I am getting DUNLOP and BIRLA TubeLess tyres in the profile 100/90-18. How good/bad are they?
