              • hi guys / LP (tyre guru highly in demand! ):
                had an IRC running for quite sometime. 170/70-17:

                sorry for low quality. cropped frm: Picasa Web Albums - Shadez - Autoz

                need a change because now that its worn out, it skids wildly esp when the road is wet. a small water/oil spill and you can see me going whoosh...

                any suggestions on the best tyre for replacement? looking for 110-120/70-17 tyres if possible. i prefer 70 to 80 for better cornering.
                and yeah, am a tourer basically. so it should hold ground in all types of so called roads.

                            Hey!! 17" incher's have got a plenty of variety.. P150 Genuinely..
                            You can go for:
                            1) 2.75 17" (Tube/Tubeless) MRF Nylo Zapper FS and Rear 100/90 MRF Nylo Zapper -C (Tube/Tubeless)
                            2) 3.00 17" (Tube/Tubeless) MRF Nylo Zapper FS and Rear 110/90 VeeRubber/IRC (Tube/Tubeless)
                            3) 90/90 17" (Tube/Tubeless) MRF Nylo Zapper FS and Rear 120/80 MRF Nylo Zapper FS / VeeRubber / IRC (Tube/Tubeless)
                            4) 90/80 17" MRF Nylo Zapper FY (Tubeless) and Rear 100/80 MRF Nylo Zapper S (Tubeless)
                            5) 90/80 17" MRF Nylo Zapper FY (Tubeless) and Rear 120/80 MRF Nylo Zapper VYDE (Tubeless)

                            According to me,It is pretty good until now,if you feel it is loosing grip,try running it on an air pressure of 30/32 PSI and every Sunday,Take a cloth and wipe the tyre by diesel,for a couple of weeks...It Would Help..

                            70 OR 80 does help much,What Matters is how GUTS have you got to lean the bike,80 is more than sufficient because when you go in for 70 section the tyre is more curved at the edge rather than giving you support it revokes it,also when you tapper it much more than required it will roll as if it is taking hickups..
                            Tried it on FZ-16,you can lean it well,but when you push the tyre hard,it creates a problem...


                            @ Winzip: you need to Change to tyre Fast,its almost gone, may be close to 1.5 OR 2k KMS max...

                            • Once again teh same Post with some additions:

                              Originally posted by L.P. View Post
                              P.S: Prices May vary.. these were the prices i knew..any changes pls corect me!!


                              I) Dunlop Monster..(800/- INR in delhi) if you have a bit of offroad on your dailly commute way..then its good.. 100% tarmac.. waste..

                              II) Geo Cruiser.. (800/- INR in delhi): The THE worst tyre... good for nothing.. the cheapest tyre..many people use it..but trust me its THE worst...

                              III) Ceat: SECURA Zoom(1300/- INR in delhi): the only Dual purpose tyre..that motorcyles can bear wit...

                              IV) Ceat: MOCROSS (1800/- INR in delhi): 100% OFF road tyre..useless for you..
                              rest ceat.. no much idea..

                              V) MRF Zapper Q..(12-1500/- INR in delhi): THE BEST FRO ZMA .. 120/80 section.. tubeless.. direct fit... no probs.. ultimate grip..even on water.. after Nylozapper FS and S,it is the tyre that gives the best water resource planning and awesome grip on water on tarmac..

                              VI) Pireli.. (18-2000/- INR in delhi) :Way to costly.. and gives you awesome grip.. but not on water,also a bit of soft compound..so wear's Off fast..


                              VII) Last but not the least.. there are a couple of more brands:

                              RALCO(650/- INR in delhi): Useless,this company earlier manufactured tyre for rickshaw's and cycles..with the brand name of "RALSON"..
                              Reason being: tryes very hard,and heavy,gives a lot of stress to the engine..god for person's who are learning wheeliee's ..

                              METRO CONTINENTAL(800/- INR in delhi): IF you put up in chhera punji or myswarryam..then this tyre is THE BEST ..

                              KINGS(1200/- INR in delhi):100% chineese tyres.. worthless.. waste of money...

                              VEE RUBBER(17-1800/- INR in delhi):Very nice tyres.. awesome grip.. soft compound..provides a less grip when comes in contact with water + tarmac..
                              rest in all fine..

                              ************************************************** ******
