Go for 2.75x17 zapper fs for front and 3.00x18 zapper c for rear. They are not tubeless, but are really good.

BTW, what about the MRF Strike? I still cant find a set of stock zappers for the R15 here in Coimbatore.

i have heard that new P 220 comes with soft compound tyres...wht abt other 2009 pulsars ...like 150,180,200. will all the new pulsars too come with soft compound tyres...if yes will these tyres be available at MRF showrooms?

200 production has been stopped .. so i guess 180 should come with the same set of tyres as that of 220 i.e soft compound tubeless ... i don't think so that 150 is coming in that way .. yest the tyres are available in MRF showrooms(they are MRF tyres only) .. u check the Bajaj website for more details

Wondering if anyone can help my friend here! He owns a ZMA and wants to change the rear tyre and is in a dilemma whether to get a Zapper Q of size 120*18 OR 130*18?

Went through the posts here and it is mentioned that 120*18 would be the best fit; however he wishes to put 130*18! Any changes required to install size 130? How will it affect the engine and mileage?

Thanx for ur input dude...Did the tyres u suggested are bigger in profile when compared to my present OEM tvs tyres or it is the same profile of stock TVS tyres??... & also wanna know about the approx. cost of these both front & rear tyres...

**_keerthy** · 08-08-2009, 08:17 PM

^^^ The tires would be more or less the same size. But the rear may look a bit small though. But dont worry. They will give you better grip than your OE TVS tires. I am not sure about the exact cost, i think it will come around 1800 for them both, excluding tubes.
I have them on my Shogun, and i'd say they are very good. The same sizing was used by some of my friends on their RTRs on the track. That includes Joel's RTR.

EDIT: I almost forgot you have a better choice for the front tire. Its the R15's front tire. Its an 80/90x17 Zapper FY. It is an excellent tire on dry tarmac.

but they provide the tyre at the cheapest rate

you can find them with private dealers also .... but they generally charge more
because they import them on their own

may be the many p220 you have seen would be limited edition

But i expect somewhat larger tyres now dude...the one in the pulsar 220 may fit in my apache 150 ?? I know its the zapper but whats the model in 220...is it Y or S or Q whatever??

my tyre specification according to manual is

FRONT : 90/90 x 17
REAR : 90/90 x 18 (or) 100/80 x 18

So accordingly advise me...thanx in advance...
