Zapper Q is really good, worth the money spent, just went for a trip thru some really bad roads and the grip on the bike was amazing, my stock tyres would have ahd me skid atleast 5 times, but with this not even once, cornering is also butter like......I would suggest go for it, but its softcompound and will adviced only for next 15k kms

As there are more sands & other stones on the tarmac in my residing place i need to find out the correct tyre for my use...These bloody corporation people doesn't sweep the roads here properly...so, Will Zapper Q will do in these conditions??

Go For Q, My personal Opinion!! However i am using " C " from past 40k Odd kms,Because Q is not availaible in 17"
Zapper C in soft compund has just come in the market not around two months that too in only P220 DTS-i..??

Only 220 dts - i, I had seen the 6 months old pulsar 180 with zapper C as stock tyres...U could cross check it again dude...

No tyre is good for both tarmac and offroading. Take one and you have to compromise on the other. Go for Q if you want performance on good tarmac... else go for an offroad tyre.

if you find any place where you can get these plz inform me too , I have dragged that tyre too far from 25k to 31k but still haven't found a worthy tubeless replacement.

Niks, IMO the stock zapper is the best deal for the pulsars...

Why do you want a 120 section tyre? It is not required and will necessitate the removal of the chain guard, shortening the life of your chain/sprockets. More than anything, it offers poser value and a beefier rear look.

Go with a 110 section at the most, Zapper Q is available in this size. The grip on tarmac is decent, but in the wet it isn't confidence inspiring. Your other options are the MRF 4.00*18 M45 or the Dunlop Monster 100/90.

Thanks for your suggestion but I've already removed the chain cover!

If I'm not wrong, the stock tyre is 100/90. I owned a classic Pulsar 150 with 120/18 rear tyre. I don't think it would be a problem for a 225 cc bike! What say? And don't worry, I'll keep servicing the chain-sprockets!!

I saw Monster but didn't impress much! What would be the cost of M45?

Michelin M45 is around 2900 INR I guess not sure though.. Y dnt u hav a look @ ceat vertigos.. 120/80 its tubeless & its a direct fit on ZMA ( I assume U own a ZMA) & it actually works pretty decent on all kinds of surfaces

Wider rims for ZMA

Hi there! I ride a ZMA using MRF Zapper 'Y' 100/90 18 stock tyres. Today I was comparing my tyres with a pulsar parked besides my bike using MRF Zapper 'C' 100/90 17. The pulsar tyres were definetly wider than mine. Initially I though the pulsar was using 110 so went and checked. Its using 100. So I began to wonder how pulsar seems wider when both are using 100's. I thought maybe RIMS may influence the width of the tyre. Checked them out as well and found my ZMA rims appears to be very thin compare to the pulsar. Now, I have not done any actual measurement using some instrument. Both bikes were side by side, so my conclusion is based on observation only. Are my observation correct?

Secondly, I would like to know if there are wider RIMS available in the same style. If so, where can I get them in mumbai.

look brah ! they r wider coz Pee uses wider rims and hence tyre has a wider spread. since i m in a hunt for 3.5"x17" rim for my uni and it's been like no of month i m yet to see a worthy product of my taste , talking to many shops and even inquiring abt it's febrication i got the rply as -ve. so

nly option wuld be fz-rim now that too doesnt have anydisk brake version[rear]..lol. u'll be shocked to see rtr180's rim. even though it has 110\80 it has no spread.
last option: import it baby

NO need for that, put a 120/80 Section tyre!

Pulsar's rim size is different, and has got a wider stance,so the tyre seems to be wider than usual..
