      it promises a lot bro !
      Someone in the rtr thread tried them and he complained about straight line stability, and i doubt whether it will be a direct fit and availability of the tyre is a big question mark

        MRF Zapper Q - 3.00 x 18 -2100(Rear)
        MRF Zapper FS - 2.75 x 18 -1700 approx(Front)

        Michelin M45 - 3.00 x 18 - 2600 (Rear)
        Michelin M45 - 2.75 x 18 - 1600 approx(Front)

        Are the Michelin M45 tubeless tyres or tubed ones that can be used as tubeless??

        Users of Michelin pls let me know. Any other tubeless options for CBZ Extreme in stock sizes and not too expensive ? Max range preferred is pretty much close to Michelin.
        here in my place
        M45 3.00 -18 is 1700 rs
        dont know about others

          I bought M45 4.00 x 18 for 1900rs without tube sometime in november. got it from ramkote! 2600rs is way too expensive!

          other tubeless options is 100/80-18 vee rubber - awesome tyre, thought very less on tyre life. Approx 15-20k kms only! bought it for 2400 back in 2009 sep.

          Michelin Pilot sporty 100/90-18 pathetic to say the least! 1900rs in nov 10

          Michelin Sirac 100/90-18 TL....very hard to source! no idea!

          Mrf Zap Y 100/90-18 TL....ask member Kaka for review - do you really wanna know?

          • Yeah, I felt the rear tyre was too overpriced. Got a quote of Rs.2015 from another dealer.
            Ask member kaka for review ? Sure? I don't remember reviewing Zap Y

              In my place.Go for zapper Q 100/90-18 TT as rear tire and it will cost you nearly 1250RS.Best option for cbz xtreme.or still you want TL?

                  I think its normal because,I changed my stock MRF Zapper 2.75 * 18 to Michelin M45 3.0 in my karizma,but both of them looks same in size!
                  What about tire pressure?

                      Zapper Q for 1250 bucks ?? I remember my friend quoting that price for the tyre when he got it on his unicorn more than a year ago. TT = Tubedtyre ? TL = Tubeless ?

                            a big no for the sirac with stock sprocket ! you will suffer big drop in acceleration and top end !

                            trust me 180 took a good lead ! where 220 took really long time to
                            reach 120 kmph
                            am also running on sirac dude... on my p180ug3... which sprocket are you running on?

                              no, only looks. but its a big problem for me. Any chance to increse the width of the tyre running some kms?
