      • For Mr Gaurav lal

        Hi Gaurav,

        i did visit the haryana tyres showroom in faridabad today. Firstly, the people were not interested in selling tyres, with every one of them looking the other way. And these are people from whom my family and me have been buying tyres for the last 10 years or more!!! lol!!! I asked for the michelins in 2.75-18 and 3.00-18. They only had 2.50 -18 and 3.00 -100 ( m62).

        I asked for the M45 model. Not available
        Whats the pricing for the 2.75 and 3.00 tyre . dont know ( the M62 was for 1200 without tube).
        When can the tyre come. No idea
        Can i place an order. No confirmation on availability..

        Finally a little flustered, i stepped out.

        Is there any dealer in Gurgaon from whom i could purchase the M45 series for my RXZ?? Thanks in advance.

          Been using IRC's on my cbz-x for 25-26k kms, both front and rear.

          I am inclined towards using them again, but can anyone confirm whether they have tubeless too now in bangalore ? I didnt have a choice back then.

          But after a short conversation with praveen_km i might try the m45, if both sets are avialable in bangalore. Would change the tyres in january before a long ride home .
          again ur riding to your hometown?


          Managed to fix a tubeless punchture yesterday on my RTR with help of my dad. It was damn difficult to push the strip in

          • I kind of dislike trains because of the W/L status i always get.

            Sooo ....

            Hey Satish, RTR has a 18" rear , which tubeless tyre are you using now ?

                i have been advising many ppl on numerous topics related to bike. But then there is ONE thing which i am kinda need of help and advice.

                see i am having a R15...1 yr old...the rear tyre is totally worn out...wanted to change the tyre.......and I HAVE NO IDEA regarding tyres...pls help...

                i am thinking FZ tyre as an option...actually i am not inclined towards wide tyres....just want something that good on road and doesnt get puncture easily.....i knw the stocks are the best ....its just that i am tired of soft compound R15 tyre....which happen to be a puncture magnet....man i have spent around 1000 bucks in the past 1 yr on getting puncture fixed !!!
                R15, Stock are The Best..

                Anything Else will kill the bike's look and handling too,use something near to stock only!

                  Hi,

                  100 is the foot print of the tyre and 80 denotes the percentage of the tyre wall's height. In a 100/80, the wall height is 80% of 100.
