^^^ IRCs are good man thoda costly hai but good ,Michs well Sirac will help loose the acc for sure, as my friend has got it on his new ZMA.
Not too sure about Duro.
BTW how much are IRCs for ?

Sirac would definately loose accleration bcoz of its bigger size..!!

Well, IRCs here costs a bomb yaar...1.5K for the front one and 2.4K for the rear...these rates i got from Metro tyres @ bombay..!!

sasta yaar i paid 3300 for the irc rear from metro, you should come over to mumbai i too want to replace the front of my 220 maybe we get a discount from the metro guy.

will m45 downsize the per4mance zma??

finally after much research narrowed down to M45 over oders esp PSD...
.. some are saying tat M45 are heavier n can decrease the acc as well as mileage.... wats thr truth will some ZMA riders with M45 help out....???

i already screwed ma CBZ by putting 130/80 -18 TVS Crusader .. dont wanna take another risk... so fill me with wisdom guyz...

^^^ i think M45 are nearbout the same weight as the stock MRFs, so shldnt be much issue.
Rzar and anup have M45.

@ Glen : Yup the M45 is of the same weight as that of Stock MRF Zapper Y on the ZiMA..

Hmm...will let you know soon...!!

Id been to Metro last month to check out tyres for my P150 V2. he quoted 2400/- for a 110/80-17" rear IRC....at that time I thought it was too expensive considering people have bought IRCs for much lesser....not from Mumbai though

i want to change the rear tire on my RTR. If i put a 110/90 MRF Zapper Q tire on the back..would that change the acceleration or speed characteristics of my bike?

Guys, Anyone have pics of Pulsar 220 or 200 fitted with FZ16 tyres??? plz desperatly want to see how it looks.. as i have ma p220 and want to fit FZ16 tyres on it.. both front and rear...

Finally got down to changing the rear tyre of my Shogun.

Got swindled in the process - the actual tyre that the shop handed to me was 2.75 x 18 Dunlop Challenger instead of 3.00 x 18 which is the stock size. Whats worse is they fitted a 3.00 x 18 tube on the smaller tyre... damn unsafe!!

Went back to fight with them the next day, but they refused to believe that anything was wrong as the smaller tyre works perfectly on the Shogun! What is more, they acted as if they did something good by passing on a narrower tyre, as it would afford better fuel efficiency! Wont get into details but it was pretty clear that its a planned swindle!

The shop is called Gurunanak Auto Spares in Nana Peth. Beware of such shops. To put it briefly, these guys dunno zilch about tyres and their own business. You risk your life and money by buying from such shops.

Anyway I got rid of the 1 day old smaller tyre by selling it off to another dealer near my place... at a loss of Rs. 225 something. Retained the 3 x 18 Dunlop tube and bought a Dunlop Challenger 101 of the same size (see pic).

Preliminary review of the Challenger and the Challenger 101 - As I'v driven both the tyres just for a day, its way too early to make a lot of comments. But what seems quite noticable is that the ordinary looking Challenger was better at grip and handling than the fancier looking Challenger 101. If anybody is considering a Dunlop, I'd recommend the Challenger over the Challenger 101... even though the 101 looks much better and thicker. Cant comment on the wet grip yet... as have used both only for a day on city roads.

hey i know this is a bit OT but i i didnt think it deserved a whole new thread..
i wanted to know if the rear 18"inch alloy of the karzama can be on a v1 p150..or are there any modfications to be made..

what are the good + cheap option for 120 width 17" tyre!!

M45's are better than the stock Zappers in terms of grip as these are made of soft compound which wear off faster than the the zappers..and it costs 1800/- here in pune..!!

MRF Zappers in tubeless variants..! Check out www.mrftyres.com for more details..!!

^^^ oyee which ones did u go 4 ?
