    Won't deliver to my city - Jamshedpur :P

    Any reviews for the Dunlop Geo cruiser, Monster 100/90 section on Hunk/extreme? How is the Michelin sirac street as a dual purpose tyre?

      Michelin sirac street is awsome on dry tarmac and good on wet off road and even dry off road, it not so good on wet tarmac, im using it

      Stay away from dunlop :banghead:

      If you can try sourcing a mrf metior 100/18
      Buy the ceat vertigo use with a tube and anti puncture liquid/gel

        AFAI read reviews elsewhere on Teambhp and xbhp, Dunlop geo cruiser was the OEM tyre on previous generation CBZ Xtremes and people have reviewed it well.

          Unfortunately the geo cruzer you get now is much harfer compound and cheaper by 200 rs or so:banghead:
          Same with the dunlop monster
          Not tvs hard but almost there....

            What about these tyres from Birla group one of my friend has recently purchased this tyre for his rx135, he said that before purchasing this tyre he was also sceptical but after using it he is very much impressed although he admitted that tyre is of softer compound, and will last only 12 to 15000kms!, i said what the hell only 15000km that's way way too short of life.

                  I use a dunlop tuffgrip, and IMO it is a great tyre. Can't comment on the rest.

                  You must discourage him from doing that. Not only it doesn't make any sense, it is highly dangerous and not recommended.

                  looking for dunlop and motul stickers in Mumbai, any ideas?

                      I can't discourage him because firstly he has got tons of knowledge secondly because he has got so much of knowledge he has become very rude, if i try to tell him something he will say i don't want to learn from you and i should mind my own business, by heart he is good but when it comes to learning from someone else he just can't learn.

                        That isn't knowledge mate. I got a link for you, show it to him and make him understand that he might not know more than a tyre manufacturer.



                        Point #14 talks about retreading and how it is not recommended.

                          Guys, request you all not to post senseless stuff here. Cutting grooves on a tire to get more grip? I mean, come on!

                          I appreciate [MENTION=42110]'nYsus'[/MENTION] for spreading the right info but that's only how much a member can do. It is advised not to discuss such senseless modifications on an open forum like this because anyone can read it and attempt the same (because apparently a very knowledge-able person did it earlier).

                          Bottom line - Cutting grooves in a tire is foolish.
                          Got a $5 head? Get a $5 helmet.
                          Because everyone who passes, isn't a martyr!

                              tej
                              What's the odo reading of your impulse tyre, sometimes tyres do get crack if the crack is only on the upper layer you need not worry that much, but still get it checked from inside also to be sure.

                                ODO or ODOMETER is an instrument on the console that displays total number of kilometers covered by the motorcycle and various other data as well.
                                He wanted to ask, "how many kms done?"
