      Guys, got a new rear tyre today for my Suzuki GS. I have opted for Ceat Vertigo Sport 100/90 at rs 1300 as I have to ride through lots of mud and slush during the rainy season. After riding on the new tyre I have felt less confident about its straight line rideability. I dont know if it is psychological or real. Any inputs guys? Raj.
      Lot to do with your Psychological effect, in the muds & slush this ceat can prove wonders..

      I have personally seen 120/80 Mry Vyde on P150 UGIII, no need to remove chain guard it can be a direct fit.

        • In case of his nomenclature ( 3.00 18 ), the height is assumed to be 100% of the width i.e 3.00 inches. So the width is 3 inches and nominal height is also 3 inches.

            How is the performance of the tyre in terms of

            Comfort
            Wet Grip
            Dry Grip
            Braking
            Cornering

            Also what are the negative points of the tyre ? Do share with all of us.
            The performance of my front M35 is great so far. But the complete result I can only get when I will change my rear tyre too I guess as even that is due. I loved the M35, superb grip. Will definately let you know about the points you mentioned once I change the rear too. Thanks.!

            Btw, In my rear rim, the socket where the bearing is fit on the side of sprocket. Theres a small cut & it has developed a slight play. Which results in slight wobbling of the tyre at times. At the moment, my mechanic has done some jugad, by packing it using some iron sheets/blade. So now its stable, but am unsure of it in future. Can someone put some light on this. Hope what I meant is clear to you guys..!

            • Finally got my Rear tyre changed to with M45, 4.00
              Now the grip has improved significantly. Feel really quiet confident on specially wet surfaces.

              So am having M35 in the front & M45 in the rear. Got the M45 for 2000 + 300(tube) & M35 for 1350 with the tube.

              Thanks everyone for your suggestion, it was really worth & I went to the shop with confidence & bit of knowledge too.

                      Looks good. Where do you get the Pirelli SD in Bangalore? I was thinking of putting in a 140/70 17 on my P220 F's rear on an experimental basis. Do you think it'll fit?

                                For the 220, its best to go with the MRF Zappers. From what I have read, the grip on the IRCs is better than MRF on dry roads, but not good on wet roads.

                                I got my 220 on 12th March and they came with MRF Zappers, I was happy because I did not want the IRCs or the Eurogrips. The grip from the Zappers is quite good.
