      Want to change the rear tyre of Pulsar 180 UG4

      Please suggest some leaner tyre for pulsar 180 ug4' rear, stock is 120/80-17 tubeless MRF Zapper.
      I want to bring it down to a leaner one so that I get little more mileage.
      Also my experience with this Zapper is not good, it skids!!! No offense "Zapper Happy" people, this is my experience.
      Need you suggestion on different tyres that will fit on mine. If possible also include the price.

      Regards,
      R

        If you down size the tyre gearing will be affected , and your bike will be undergeared . You will gain some acceleration and top end will be reduced . Also vibrations will creep earlier than normal .

        You can go for pirelli sport demon or MT75 , both are 110/80 , priced around 2600 INR . Being soft compound they offer excellent grip but short life span compared to MRF . But for 17" other good options are availiable in MRF .
        You cannot gain more than 3 kmpl max by down sizing the stock .

        Zapper vyde would be the best choice if you dont want to down size !

          tyres for monsoon

          i have a 2 yr old Honda Unicorn which came fitted with MRF Zapper. but the problem is that these tyres do not have grip in the center.. it has cuts on side.. thus the back tyre skids even in a small patch of water... even wet road.. i have not yet changed the tyres.. but need some help from u ppl.. should i change the tyres? or something can be done to use the current pair of tyres as they are still in mint condition..

            AFAIK, the 3.00 * 18 tuffup tunes provided in Unicorn is very much usable in other 100/90 * 18 tyres as well. In your case, a Hunk.

                Yes,SIRAC Street 2.75 x 18,good grip too.
                MRF Meteor 110/90-18 is a hard compound tyre and has pathetic wet grip, especially after running it for 8-10k kms.

                        IMO change the tires to a good one,if you are ready to do so.
