    pulsar 220cc stock tyres are radial r not

    Please read about the advantages of radial tyres-one of the main advantages is that, they are lighter&more agile inspite of being wide!
    Yamaha spent a lot of time with MRF designing the tyres for FZ&R15. This time also it has the same tread pattern&compound, but with a radial tyre.
    In case of R15 V1, MRF made 6 prototypes before Yamaha approved the 7th one.
    Drag, rolling resistance, everything is optimized.
    Only downside is due to stickier rubber you get lower life of approx. 15K kms. compared to ~25-30K kms. of regular compound tyres, but the performance, dry&wet grip more than make up for it.
    Hope I was of some help.

      No buddy, FZ&R15 V2 are the only bikes right now with radial tyres.

        Hi,

        ZMR has MRF Zapper C with no central groove. is this the reason why i feel that the wet grip of the tyre is not upto the mark and it slips (It has actually slipped many times and after that i have stopped leaning)

        Please check the attachment

          Centre groove is only in front tyres, not usually found in rear ones

            Ohh ok.. i didnt ever observe that... but being the central portion so bald i.e. with any groves or thread create a problem in tyre grip?

              Grip is mostly based on the type of compound used, especially at the corners.
              Have a look at the Michelin India Motorcycle website, they have shown that they use harder rubber in the centre for long life&softer rubber on the corners for control&grip on bending.
              As far as grooves are concerned, their main purpose is water dissipation while riding on wet surfaces. This is the main reason why the front tyre has a central groove.
              R15 rear tyre also does not have any grooves and is bald in the centre. This actually gives more grip though it wears out faster&attracts nails eventually.
              In a nutshell, not having central groove does not have anything to do with grip on cornering.

                  Shocking observation today...

                  The 120/90-17 Sirac is actually heavier than the 120/80-18 Sirac!

                    Can anyone help me choose between Pirelli 130/70-17 , MRF vyde 120/80-17 and Michelin sirac 120/90-17? My friend wants to change the rear tyre of his Pulsar 220 and needs some input.

                    Thanks.

                      Guess stock sizes are 100/90-17 and 2.75-17. You can try CEAT Vertigo Sport 100/90-17 on rear ,its a TL tire,Not bad. For front,get the stock one.

                      Pirelli 130/70-17 : Soft compound,Wears out faster,Awesome grip in wet and dry conditions on road,not good for off roading.Lasts about 15K

                      MRF vyde 120/80-17 : Soft Compound,Wears out faster,Nice grip but lasts only nearly 10k

                      Michelin sirac 120/90-17 : Best all terrain tire,but very heavy,will reduce top end and acceleration,mileage,lasts longer than the above tires.

                        Thanks for your response. This'll definitely help him choose the best tire for his needs.
