Originally posted by silver_falcon_46 View PostI believe Nirav was trying to point out the front heavy nature of the 200 and I think it is partly true. For sure the 200 is much more front heavier than the 220. I have edited my last post, check it out. But like I said, I took the bike on some twists and turns and I was pretty comfortable. On a 200 it is VERY much necessary to change the front tyres as well because there is quite a bit of weight taken by the front tyre. More so now because of the 1.2cms increase in height.
I tried Sirac but was never comfortable due to tall gearing and raised height from the rear.....X=need for more

Tyres are meant for pure city use with emphasis on providing good wet and dry grip levels.

The tyre would have been sold out in Chennai because it was for testing purpose only.

waiting for some reply. guys please helpOriginally posted by rakowli View Postwhat tyres can i get for P150 17" alloy 90/90 front and 100/90 rear. i would like same size tyres or a 110/90 at rear. normal tube type. my bike has done 39K kms on the original tyres. Still the threads are good but corners have become uneven so i don't feel confident sometimes. So want to change it. One more thing can we do alignment and balancing for bikes. it wobbles while braking hard. i doubt it is because of tyre or alignment.

If Sirac was a TL I would have not had a problem to stick to Sirac. I had problems to move from RX to Shogun and ZMR to P200 its a matter of time u c....Originally posted by GoGreen View PostSo probably this is the reason why you returned the tyre or was it because needed a Tubeless tyre ?X=need for more
