    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:

    Mine has 17 inch rims
    Last time I changed the tyres I had no other options so I opted for 120/80 - 17 zapper vyde
    But now want to revert back to the stock size that is 110/80

      Dazzlers rear tyre! Mrf one is 110/17,
      If you want better grip have a look at yamaha r15 v1 rear tyre,
      Any reason for going back?
      Ceat vertigo in 100/17 looks fatter than a 110 and grip is awesome! But it looks horrible:P and there is a shortage of tubeless ones

        Re: Tyres

        Just wanted to feel that lil' bit of lost performance
        What if I use a 110/70 instead of a 110/80, what will be the pros and cons?

          Tyre height is more in 110/80 hence lesser acceleration better top speed.
          If I were you I would buy a ceat gripp xl 110/17

            Ah! I guess i'll stick to120 section vyde for now because I love leaning the bike around corners and wider tyres provide better grip and stability
            Most of my riding is done on highways thus again wider tyres = better stablity and I mostly cruise at 80 kmph, so it doesnt stress the engine either.
            MRF zapper vyde seems to be lighter and 10 mm difference doesnt mess with performance. A very little loss in performance.

                        As long as the tyre is new you are good to go.
                        The depreciation on the tread value is new!

                            Guys I have impulse and the tyre size is (90/90-19 front) (110/90-17 rear)what is correct pressure psi we should keep in tyre
                            On swing arm it is printed front 22 and rear 29 but the punture wala says it is very less they 28 for front and 36 for rear.
                            Less air pressure results in tyre cracks is it true

                              Imo stick to company recommendations,
                              Thing is we never get the correct tyre pressure because of faulty meters and wrong time to fill air,
                              Go in the morning(when the temperature is cooler and so are your tyres).
                              Visit only the air wala that has decent equipment (digital ones in pumps are good and the ones with newer equipment too)
                              Ask him to completely deflate your tyre,
                              Then fill in air....
                              Now the air you have got is the correct pressure, ride and get a feel for it. The air pressure inside will increase when your riding say on hot roads. No need to reduce air for it. As you ride in the colder temperatures (evening or night) the air inside will contract and condense and the pressure will be back to normal, keep a day of the week as your refill day,
                              Yeah we all like to boast and say tyre pressure was normal even after four weeks... but that aint good.
                              Every sunday (or any day your free) again deflate the tyre and follow this process. If you ride with a pillion, keep the rear 1 to 2 psi more.
                              Cheers.
                              Ride safe.

                                Guys.. Any recommendations for wet weather tyres for upcoming rainy season? What I the technical difference between dry and wet tyres? Is it just the rubber compound or the treading as well?
