I checked King's Tyre website and they have one whose tread pattern is surprisingly similar to Dunlop. Makes you wonder.

Guys any idea about TVS manufacturing Michelin tyres in India under license? Specially the M45s? I called Sai Iyengar to check on tyres for my P180 and he told me this.
Maybe someone posted about this and I missed it."Tough times never last, but tough people do." - Robert Schuller

Originally posted by naveenroy View PostBut well, I actually have no idea where to post this query but I will do it here...
I am looking at changing the stock back tyre on my Thunderbird and am looking at some options. I see that a lot of the guys esp at InddieThumpers have the MRF Meteor as the back tyre. This seems like a good option, though here are my points:
1. I need good handling - esp in wet weather. Cause I have skidded in the recent past and nearly skidded with my wife as pillion....
2. I don't do too much long riding, but once in a month, I ride atleast 500 kms straight up and down.
3. I will be riding mostly on dirty tarmac - the Bangalore variety
4. Need good handling.
So all you riding gurus - please help!
Please help, I think my question got lost in the forest there......
And moreover, I went hunting all around JC for the MRF Meteor...then thought let me get some good tyre....was shown the Michelin JAP 45...didn't like it....then asked my dad in my native place to source the Meteor....but the guy says there is a strike in the MRF factory in Chennai, so no stocks and no hopes until that is over.....HELP!!!Comment

It has worn out almost. May be another 1000 km. The chances of skidding is very high under panic braking. Please change the tyre.Originally posted by Prabhakar View PostHH Karizma (Current) || CBF Stunner PGM-FI || Honda CB Unicorn Dazzler

I tried out a Full Rear Brake from 80kmph.Originally posted by ravi@17bhp View Post
It did not fishtail.
The Thread wear indicator is Yet to be touched.
Before it touches that point I want to change either to the FZ16 rear or the IRC/Duro 130/70.
Whats the opinion??sigpic

Okay, you can wait till the wear indicators exposed completely. But, the fishtailing may start anytime as the tyre ware is nearing.Originally posted by Prabhakar View Post
IRC/Duro 130/70 is a better option. The lower profile of FZ-16's rear tyre is not good for indian road conditions. More over, I do not think 140 section is a direct fit. Let me check.HH Karizma (Current) || CBF Stunner PGM-FI || Honda CB Unicorn Dazzler

IRC is a much better option....very good must say....costs around 1600-1900rs in delhiits all about CC...Comment

Dude I saw a FZ16 tyre on a pulsar and it's not longer low profile. Since the rim is narrower the tyre wraps it's self up a lot more. Looks like a 120 section thats thicker than the stock tyre.Originally posted by Prabhakar View Post
I wanted to take a pic of it for reference on XBP but dont have a cam phone.Comment

If you are sure that you want to buy MRF, then you can contact them through their website with your query. You can even mention that you are unable to procure Meteor in your area. They reply pretty promptly (within a week max) and they will guide you to the nearest dealer. Just make sure that you mention your area. In my case, they guided me successfully on both the occassions that I contacted them.Originally posted by naveenroy View Post
