    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
    M7rr actually lasts a bit more than the m5 and performs better than m5 in all departments.

      Re: Tyres

      I have one question regarding Honda Activa 125. MRF is providing a larger tyres "100/90-10 ZAPPER D - TL" for the rear. The typical rear tyre for Activa 125 is "90/100-10". I wanted to know if someone has fitted this tyre in their Activa 125? How has been the grip and handling of the scooter after fitting the tyre? Does it give better grip in wet road conditions? Also does the ground clearance of the scooter gets reduced after fitting this tyre?

        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.
        What did you install finally? I'm considering the Pirelli Diablo Rosso II or the Apollo Alpha H1 for my Dominar.

          Re: Tyres

          Guys would like to know how many years old tyres is it safe to purchase? For example we are in 2019 so is it safe to purchase a 2017 tyre? I know beyond a certain time it isn't.

              For the rear, get MRF RevZ S 130/70. It's the best for the budget out there costs 2.5-3.5k, been using that on my P220 for almost a month now. The wet grip, stability and braking is on a other level from normal tyre. Next up is Michelin Street Radial 130/70 but that would cost 4.5k+, it's marginally better but if you can, go for it. Both are soft compound BTW.

                    Bro, I think 2-3 yrs old tyre won't make much difference. Though if you have 5-6 yrs old stock, that's a different story.

                      Bro I am using Ceat Secura Zoom F, but i'd suggest getting R15 front tyre, have only heard good things about those. It's MRF Zapper FY1.

                                Fz25 tyre upgrade

                                I'm selling stockmrf nylogrip zapper of FZ25. Planning for mrf masseter . I don't wish to upsize from 140 and 100 to 150&110.
                                Neither I feel this bike requires Metz or pirelli its power.
                                Something good in stock size. Mrf or michelin.... Suggestions....
                                I'm a responsible rider.It doesn't matter what you ride,but what matters is how you ride.
