Pirelli Sport Demons in Bangalore

I enquired about the tyres near my place, based on n_aditya's request. Here are the prices:
Pirelli Sport Demons - 140/70-17" - INR 3,500 inclusive of fitting
Pirelli Sport Demons - 130/70-17" - INR 3,600 inclusive of fitting

The prices above are just quoted rates, without negotiation.

140 section costs less than 130?

It seems my Unicorn's tyres have worn out. I had bought the bike in 2007 November and till now have driven close to 13500 kilometers (i know my usage is less). But i have experienced that the rear tyre is skidding many a times and feel the need to change it.
What brand i should go for and specifications if you can provide ??
Currently it is MRF Zapper (dont know specs).
Any idea about cost ??
Michelin is also an option.

Hi guys i'm about to ask a very noob question. Please don't say read the thread. Its too difficult since its 300+ pages and all. And i'm a bit lazy. So i decided to post a reply. Which is more advantageous and why? Normal tires or tubeless tires? Please give me the reason for your answer. I really need to know before changing to tubeless for my P150 Dtsi. Also please suggest which brand is best and the cost of the tire. I'm asking this because my friend says that tubeless tires gives problems often. Thanks in advance.

These are few advantages of tubeless over tube type tyres..
1. If the tyre gets punctured air will not go out suddenly or completely. So that when you are doing some high speed riding all by sudden if the tyre punctured, the chances for disaster could be reduced.
2. You dont want to remove tyre and tube for puncture work. You can save paint in your bike's black rim also when you are in touring, you can take puncture repair tool along with you and can repair by yourself with less time.

Hi tibby,from which shop did u get these quotes in bangalore?Also can you tell me some good tyre shops in bangy which stock pirelli and other imported stuff?

@Gaurav: Ok, bringing up this old issue again. This case of not enough grip is not an isolated case with my tyre. I had recommended the Sirac to a lot of people and the feed back from them is also along the similar lines. For people who have gone in for their second Sirac, they are finding atleast 50% lesser grip levels compared to their earlier Sirac's! For people who have just moved to Sirac also are complaining of a similar issue that the grip levels as good/bad as a stock tyre only.

Now I very accurately remember that the first Sirac I had on my bike stuck like a leech to the ground, and compared to the stock rubber grip levels were atleast up by 50%!

My first Sirac was purchased around July'2009 and the second one was picked up around May'2010.

Additionally, I also want to add that these cases that I am mentioning are not from on specific dealer. This is a general feedback collated from people who have bought tyres from different dealers.

Awaiting your inputs on this. In my personal opinion either the compound has changed, or all those who have purchased tyres in 2010 have recieved old stock of tyres who's compound has hardened with age!

hey friends....
IRC 130/70 17 inch.... Price 2800/-
can anyone please say,is it right price or not??

where can i get this tyre size for RTR 180

Rear tyre - 110 / 80 X 17" Tubeless

I'm putting up in delhi ... any info abt shops in NCR would be good

I agree. There is another side to it as well. If you have a tubeless tyre and you hit a pothole at high speed and the rim gets bent, air will start leaking slowly. This is especially bad if you are touring and this happens in the middle of nowhere.

A couple of months back I was doing a 500 km solo trip and hit a pothole which caused the rim to bend a bit. Fortunately my rear tyre had a tube (got fed up with the frequent punctures on my stock rear) and was able to make the next 100 kms without any hassle and get the rim straightened.

Thanks for the info dude. I did not know that. What happens to the tyre if it hit potholes at high speed. Is that get pressed all the way inside to cause the rim bends? And is this the case with radial tyres or normal tyres too?
