    100/80-17s go for nearly 5k. You can always bargain. Take bhabhi jee with you.

      I don't have a dhoom machale bike Divya, I guess I will stick with stock. As it is in the past my experience with PSD wasn't too positive, after 3K the grip levels dropped drastically. I guess it's back to stock after 7 years then.

          5k is robbery for PSD 100/80. PSD 110/70-17 sells for 4k here in Trivandrum.

            Guys I recently came across this tyre protector. Is this treatment really safe? I mean does it interfere with the tyre temperatures?
            People who are using tyre protector please advise us if u had faced any lack of grip after using the sealant.

              I had used similar product called PFZ. Works great for small punctures. But it won't work for very large nails.

                PSD's were always there but yes the fake market was trying to overtake.

                I remember getting the set for 6.5 - 7k something..

                Also, yes the PSD's loose grip after just 3-4K and then it's a slip game every time you try to brake or lean.

                I'll say stick to stock and you will be happier!

                  Stock always works best! For the front at least.
                  I had a PSD 110/90-18 rear on my ZMR in 2013. Cost me only 2850 then after returning my used rear tire. It worked well. I used it for 19k but it did feel skiddish after 14-15k km.

                        Please google, you would find a lot of puncture repair kits. Buy anything!

                        oh.. But did u check the image they had used such big nails for representation? Any way my point was to avoid the max punctures that i could if i use the protection. My only concern is if it would affect the road grip because of any temperature issues. Its costing nearly 2k for installation.

                          Buy from eBay.

                          Anything under 200-220 with 5 puncture strips is a good price 300-400 is uselessly overpriced.

                          Also, learn to apply puncture. Get a silicon solution tube also from local cycle puncture repair shop!

                            Hi Guys,

                            I wanted to know what's your feedback on Pirelli Sport Dragon tyres. I have not heard much about them but they are Radial Tyre and harder compound then Diablo Rosso 2.

                            I wanted to know if they are good tyres which have very good grip during rains or should I opt for Michelin Pilot Street or Diablo Rosso 2 for my Honda CBR 250R.

                            Kindly let me know asap as I need to change my bike's conti go tyres.

                            Regards,
                            Kailash

                              the tubeless tire puncture repair kit costs around 100rs (i.e. the two tools, reamer and the strip inserter along with 5 strips )
                              you can check at your local two wheeler spares shop.. online prices are a bit high. also get a tube of that glue that puncture guys use.
                              as for the tire inflator, you could go in for one of the mechanical ones(foot operated) or if you want a electic one, then get the 'resqtech' tire inflator ResQTech Micro Tyre Inflator ( RSQ-AC101 )
                              I use the resqtech and its tiny and works just fine. Each have their pros and cons, so decide accordingly.

                                My friends are using Michelin Street Pilot 2. 140 and 150 size tyres. They are claiming the life to be 20-21k easily. Though the grip is not like Metzeler's and we all know we have to compromise something.
                                I'm not doing track, I'm just riding it on streets & touring.

                                So where in Delhi can I find Michelin tyre for some discounted price ?
                                Hi where are you getting Metzler for 6800 can you please share details, that would be great
