Yep brother good with the rx too. Same size tyres.
If it was my bike I would get the ceat secura zoom 2.75/18 in the front and the ceat ceat vertigo 3/18 in the rear. Both tube types.

They are not soft compounds and not too hard. Medium ish. But the treat pattern is very good. Ok in wet tarmac. Very good in slush and off road ish bits. Confidence inspiring on dry tarmac. Plus they are easy to source and light on the pocket. And should last you well too. Below 80s they are good. But youcant get too overly enthusiastic woth them which is true for most medium compound tyres and city riders.

How much ok are they in wet, and what happens after if someone ride them above 80 or close to 80, is it that when they heat up at this speed, tyre starts to get softer hence lose grip.

No brother not at all.
Tyres heat up just after a few kms of riding.
What I ment was I have ridden an rx100 at about 90 with these tyres on wet (after a drizzle);and they just start slipping with quick braking or direction changes.
On dry tarmac they are good above 80 too. But generally enthusiastic riding, hard corneing with these type of tyres in bikes like rx etc above 80 is very very difficult for me. Someone with more skill can be better.

Also softer compound tyres are much better and offer higher grip levels. But last lesser too. And yes a tyre does become a tad bit softer after running a few kms. But nothing too significant. Hard compound tyres wont become soft compound after warmup.

Yes get a replacement if possible they might ask you to go somewhere for inspection. Keep us updated. The claiming warranty process will help others too.

Afaik IRCs are not available due to typical ISI standardisation. This is what I was told here.

Re: Tyres

I own a RTR 160 and I am currently running a 120/80 -17 tyre at the rear.
I wanted to revert back to the stock size, is there any other option other than zapper c?
Or what if I down size, what are the pros and cons?

Bad luck bro

You cant find them!
Thing is after the rule was imposed that all tyres need to be isi certified irc'c and old michelins just got extinct from the market.
Grey import ones youcan score but they sre sooo damm costly!
6000rs for an m45 is what a guy asked to get me one!
What is your rim size bro? Rtr 160 had a 17 inch rim then 18 then 17 I got confused

you can get something else maybe. But its best to let palaeontologists discover ircs and m45s:banghead:
