    Plz advice where to search for 130/80 17'' rear tyre for my P220, currently bike came with IRC which is not good & I missed 3-4 times occuring with mishaps.

    Looking for Pirelli/MRF - advice what else can be found be Hyd !

    Rgds.
    Michelin is also available in HYD if you are looking at that option.

      Here in this sizes you can go for :

      Ceat Vertigo(Tubeless) best for rough roads and last longer with good grip.

      Mrf zapper C (Tube) Good one to go too but life span is less though grip is good

      Tvs - When nothing is available, you can go for this brand....

      Dunlop : Decent enough to go for...

      Ceat Vertigo :

        17- diameter of wheel in inches.
        The stock tyre of R15 is 100/80-17..

              yes ,
              to convert to tubeless tires you will have to change rims from spoke ones to alloy type . front and rear tires from mrf will cost approx 3500 and 6000-7000 rs for branded new alloys .

                  • is the michelin sirac 120/90 17 tubeless ??
                    and is it available in 130/80 17 as well ??

                    Is the zapper Q 140/70 advisable for my p220 ?? as in , will the wider section rub against the open chain cover ?? coz ive noticed that the gap now ( using stock 120/80 zapper C ) is very little ... dont know if another 10mm tolerance is there
                    and if there is no clearance then what can be done ??

                        It is very much possible.. the ride height will come down, but it looks good. Tvm xbhpian a.jayamohan had it on his p220.

                          yeah pirelli sport demons are awesome but i heard that it wont last as much as mrf becuase the pirelli rubber is really soft ( hence very grippy on tarmac ) and will wear out sooner .. Also , its more expensive ..

                          ride height will come down by :
                          80% of 120 mm (coz its 120/80) - 70% of 140 mm (coz its 140/70)
                          96 - 98
                          = -2 mm ??

                          Which means the ride height is going to increase by 2mm !!

                            Its the other way round my friend. a/b means a is the aspect ratio of b which means 120% of 80!

                                180 is the section width, right? Then what is 55 here?
