  • New Tyres for 2011 Ninja 650R

    I'm currently on a set of Metzeler Sportec M5 Interact tyres which have worn out after roughly 7.5k kms. I'm looking for something a little less performance oriented and more durable. My riding is, mostly, confined to the city and, at max, 3 150+ KM trips a month. The Pirelli Angel GTs caught my eye. Any info on Angel GT vs ST would be greatly appreciated. I'm open to suggestions. Thanks.

          Anybody using Michelin Pilot Street Radial on Pulsar 220? Need feedback on how it is holding up in wet/gravel.
          You can take the ride away from me but you cannot take the rider out of my soul.........

                Hi All,
                I have TB 350 and my stock tires are 11000 KM old. I have a Laddhak ride in next month so was planning to change my rear Tyre size 120/80-18.
                So there will be much of off-road or no road ride involved.
                So please suggest some good option that can be considered.

                  Ceat Zoom is a good option. It is a tubeless tyre but can be used with tube as well.

                      can't say about the performance, but once the ladakh trip is over if you're going to ride in the city then I wanted to inform about the kinds of knobby tires that "don't" develop a very delectable wear pattern when ridden on tarmac.
                      Mrf - meteor-M , moto d
                      ceat - gripp
                      ceat - gripp xl - can't say
                      ceat - vertigo sport - comparatively less
                      ceat - secura sport - can't say
                      mrf - meteor has least problem

                      The center portion just wears off, & at a very fast pace compared to the sides.
                      just my honest opinion guys.
                      P.S : this post hasn't taken into account the variations in different sizes across particular models. ( like the infamous variation in characteristics found in zapper C - 120/80 & 100/90 )

                          The tyre you specified is not 120/80 18 profile. You will be able to put it in, but it will be smaller. You should have 3.50 - 18, IMO

                          • Dunlop Monster Trail

                            Anyone used or got a feedback on the dunlop monster trail tyre. I need it for my RE. Wanted to know it's performance on road.
                            Tried sourcing CEAT vertigo sport, but didn't get any.

                              Mum-bikers, any recommended Ceat tyre dealers around Mumbai? I would like to change my RE C500 tyres (Front 90/90 - 19", Rear 120/80-18") from MRF Zappers to Ceat gripp xl. Zappers are decent in dry, while not so in the wet and scary in the slush, so planning to change them ahead of the monsoons. Any body know where I can get them (Ceat's) in Mumbai?

                                There is a dealer in Bhandup, cannot recall the name though.
                                The real beauty lies in throttle's twist!!

                                Headlight can be replaced, Head cannot be. Wear a helmet.
