    But the difference being the Masster is a soft compound tyre, where as the the older tyre which you used was a hard compound tyre. The grove pattern are both designed to dissipated the water from inward to outward direction during wet conditions, try breaking in the tyre for another 1000kms and see the difference in grip
    That is the only option i have ..already it is used for 1000km..its not i am having issue with masseter but not confident in very hard braking..also i have changed my Mc to karizma bybre one with new brake pads ..may be they have strong bite than earlier which was very old but still feedback is not there so not able to modulate the brake pressure accordingly ..will change hose to steel braided one to have more feedback and fluid flush..lets see how these combination work.

          Pirelli by all means is the way to go when it comes to good grip factors. The Apollo A1 isn't a slouch either, affordable and lasts better than Pirelli.

          Cheers!

          Once upon a time, a guy asked a girl 'Will you marry me?'
          The girl said, 'NO!'


          And the guy lived happily ever after and rode motorcycles and watched sport on a big screen TV, went fishing and surfing, and played golf a lot, and drank beer and scotch and had tons of money in the bank and left the toilet seat up and farted whenever he wanted.


          THE END

              Re: Tyres

              I've got a Avenger 220 Street. Avoiding the stock tires that it came with as a replacement, do I have any better options that'll offer GRIP over LIFE ? Both, the front and rear are due for replacement. Need to change them ASAP. All inputs are anticipated and appreciated.
              Peace !

                  There are two options, mrf and ceat. As per my usage mrf which came with the bike has been good. I don't know about ceat tyres. Any suggestions?

                      Hi buddy..
                      If you are not much budget concerned then go for michilin pilot Street at rear (if size is available then use it at front also) it may cost u around 7k/pair total.
                      These tyres are radial with muti compound material ll give very good dry and wet grips.
                      Michelin are also known for good tyre mileage.
                      Off roading not recommended on these tyres still it ll do the​ job except hard off roading.
                      If budget is concerned go for MRF revz series which is also Radial and multi compound . Hi may get it within 5k.
                      Less grip and less tyre mileage.

                        Duke 390 tyre options

                        2017Duke390 stock tyres have wore out at 7.5k. Rear tyre has gone bald on one side. I have been hitting right turns probably too hard. Front tyre look surprisingly okay. IMO it can take another 7-8k before it becomes racing slick like rear.
                        I miss how confident bike used to feel while dipping in corners. I am looking for an upgrade from stock M5. At same time I am expecting tyre life of 7-8k kms, should I just stick with M5? I mostly do city/short distance rides, 500+km ride once in 3-4 month, 1-2 trackdays in 6 months
                        What other options are there?
                        Should I change both front and rear together?
                        Please let me know if this topic has been discussed before, here or, on some other thread.

                          Apollo alpha h1, ceat zoom rad x1, tvs pro torq, metro bazooka, mrf revz steel sx.
                          Michelin psr.
                          And best to replace both.

                            None of them look like an upgrade from Metz M5(may be Apollo). I need better dry/wet/cornering grip.
                            Many youtubers seem to be promoting Apollo AH1 tyres but I have heard differently from a friend who is using it. whats your opinion of this tyre?
                            M7rr seem to be only upgrade from M5 but I doubt it would last even 6000 kms

                              Yes m7 rr would be the upgrade to m5s but Apollo is good too i have been using it on my Dominar and few of my friends are also using it , and have used these last year in leh. Grip is good in both wet and dry, i do jot have much experience on metz so can't give a true comparison.
                              Unlike metz which last only 8 to 10k kms Apollo would last longer.

                                I think I'll go with Michelin Street 130/70 R17 for rear, confused about front tyre now. The rear is costing 5300. From Amazon, the front 110/70 is priced 4-4.2k.

                                Any idea if anyone has used 110/70 radial on P220 Front.
