Have you tried IRC for a rear tyre?

You can also try ordering Duro from KRP.

Hey Praful,

I was just thinking about the talk we had about your tire combination at Nandi. All were riding, I was skiing. Refreshed the page and saw your post

. I was also thinking of the IRC combination. Where is it available in Bangalore?

**Sarvajit** · 11-11-2009, 05:50 PM

@MaSh: You can alternatively try a 100/90/18" tyre also for the rear. It is very marginally bigger than the 3.00*18, but would give you many more options&better stability!

**Praful** · 11-11-2009, 05:51 PM

Where exactly in Bangalore even I don't know, post up in Kadambam for assistance.

Btw, did you check out KRP?

Hmm, sounded good, called up the MRF dealer and asked about 100/90-18. He has a Zapper Y. Any thoughts on that? How is it?

No yaar, have not checked out KRP yet. Swinging between this MRF dealer and Iyengar.

I don't have any experience with Zappers other than R15's. My friend cribs that his CBZ-X's Zappers (donno which ones-Y or Q) skid in gravel, but hold well in rain. The new CBZ-X is also coming with GeoCruiser now.
I am also using a Dunlop GeoCruiser 100/90/18" on my Fiero F2 since 30K kms.(yes I myself donno how it lasted that long!)&no degrade since it is a hard compound. By no means a corner carver, just ok for normal city use!
I suggest if you are going in for tubeless, get 2.75*18"&100/90/18" Zappers at the front&rear respectively.

Yes, correct, Zappers are known to slip around, though I am not a corner carver or the types. Got spokes, so have to go for Tubed. Well, I have strained my head enough past few weeks for tires, and right now i seem to be heading for M45s front and rear stock size. I should have something by this week end.

In that case, if you are going for tube type, I would strongly recommend the GeoCruiser for rear atleast...front I would suggest stock TVS tyres/Dunlop Cruiser something-check the new CBZ-X's tyre config, should suit your requirement perfectly.
Also have a look at the Suzuki GS150R's tyres-they are also 2.75*18" front&100/90/18" rear.

More or less yes..i think its a good option as as alternative to sirac. Is it costlier or cheaper than sirac..??

Moreover i think that it is certified as Tubeless, as compared to sirac which is originally a tube type but ppl use it as tubeless.

Have been running on stock TVS tyres since last 28k kms on my classic RTR(2007 RTR)...suggestion needed for new tyres...

I dont want any change to the specs...only tubeless is what I would look for and ofcourse better grip(which means no more TVS

)

Front : 90/90
Rear : 100/80

Kindly put in your suggestions....

Regards...

Tubeless 100/80 ledhu babu! AFAIk there only ceat vertigo available in 100/90 as tubless.

For the front you get the same TVS tyre in tubless

or go for the R15 front with eyes closed!

Dear Bladerunner,

Request you to mail me at [email protected]. Owing to time constraint, I am not able to visit the forum regularly and update myself maybe once a month or so.
