    but can anybody please help me, i have to change the rear tyre on my Pulsar 180 (ug3)....
    I was thinking of going for the MRF Zapper vyde, as it is the only easily available tubeless tyre in my town.....
    would it be alright for the bike ? I mean considering any drop in acceleration or anything ? coz i heard some people say that a bigger tyre cuts of some acceleration....
    also, will I have to remove the chain cover for it ? Also, is it okay with punctures ? Is it true that you can run with a punctured tyre ?
    Also, the stuff that they pour inside the tube, does that help ?

        i heard the shopkeepers saying unanimously that there's a tyre shortage ?
        the thing is that pune would be a good 130km for me..... so, if i am to come to pune for a tyre change, i have to be certain that I will get it done....
        actually, I am in a study leave, so it kinda matters....
        But, also, the Tyre badly needs a change... I can actually feel the bike wobble on totally flat roads....
        I was thinking of going for the "VYDE" in MRF zapper...

          Not sure if Vyde will be good for your bike, It could foul with the swingarm...however I could be wrong.

          If you could PM/SMS me a list of the tyre you looking for and I will check tomorrow.

          You might not need to come down to Pune, I could always try to arrange a drop through some contacts...

            I have seen a VYDE on a pulsar 150, & that too ug2.... i guess it would fit in .....
            I went through a lot of tires, but I think I will go with VYDE....
            It would be extremely nice if you could help out...

                            Isn't the M62 meant for the front tyre..!!

                            And i have heard that M35 is a 17" tyre..??

                            This one looks like city + off-road tyre..!! Didnt know pirelli offers off-road tyres too..

                              M35 can be used as front tyre,verified it with before installing.

                              • Hi,

                                Looking high and low for tires for my Suzuki Fiero. MRF dealer here has a Zapper Fs for front, but for rear there are no Zappers. He has a Nylon Grip.
                                Any thoughts on how a Zapper front and a Nylon Grip rear would team up?

                                Front: 2.75/18
                                Rear:3.00/18

                                Thanks,
                                **MaSh**
