      R15 tyres are complete soft compound - Better grip and better Flickablity!

      Zapper FS 90/90 is a good tyre too but R15 front is even better its a 80/90 sec tyre.

      Zapper Vyde is a bit soft compound. One of the best tyre in 120 sec tyres.


      So if ur looking for better Grip flickablity then my advice is teh R15 tyres......they are pretty cheap too.

        Can that be fit to rear in RTR 180? Don't know about tyres, but this will at least add to poser's value of RTR(which obviously requires and deserves that)

          Yeah it can be put but this tyre gets bald in the middle pretty quick . Another option is the R15 rear , its great in Wet or dry tarmac and is little thinner so it will add a little performance while the 120 Vyde will decrease it a bit

            Well , now i understand fully but i feel using both R15 tyres Will compromise on the looks (u know thinner tyres), i have to downgrade both wheels so the bike might loose its charm(as far as looks are concerned).
            Do we get other sizes of the R15 soft compound tyres??
            btw can some one tell me the life time of the R15 Tyres??

                        • Delhi/NCR guys, please help!

                          I own a P200 at present, and as we all know it has tubeless tyres. Lately, the rear tyre of my bike has had a few punctures (4-5, to be precise). I did manage to fix one which, I thought was leaking air majorly, and I left the other nails inside of the tyre only as I did not quite had the idea of fixing a tubeless puncture. I thought one major puncture fixed; the tyre would hold air steadily enough. But it seems even after that major puncture is fixed, the rear is still losing 3-4psi of air daily.

                          Anyone knows a good tubeless puncture repair shop in Delhi/ NCR? I tried a few in Karol Bagh, but they seemed a little clueless. It's getting on my nerves really - to fill air every 3-4 days.
                          :)

                          • Aryan, I wont be able to help you in giving a 'Fixer's name. Rather, I would like to say that please keep it in mind that P200 stock tyres (MRF Nylogrip Zapper-C) tend to degrade in performance after a couple of punctures. At times, the puncture refuses to get sealed and grows on bigger while trying to fix. Whenever possible, if you feel the degraded performances viz. loss of traction et al, make it a point to change them ASAP.


                            PS: Ceat Vertigo Rage would be a good choice.

                              Oh, that's bad news for me. The tyres on my P200 are in GREAT shape traction wise. I would HATE to get those changed, but then, if I don't have any other option, then I guess I'll HAVE to get the tyre changed.
