    • Hi can anyone please tell me what options i have for replacing my R15's rear tire? Please mention the tire names and their MRPs as well. It would really be helpful. Thanks.

      • heyy guys
        can u suggest a good tyre for HMC HUNK 2010 for the rear
        section is 100\90\18.
        was thinking about m45 or sirac but its not available in my size.
        even dunlop monster seems decent (pros and cons not known. just based on the look)

          M45 4.00x18 is almost equal to 100/90-18 & sirac street is available at 100/90-18, check the michelin india website

          Dunlop moster is a good tyre but it doesnt give the grip levels to match Michelin tyres

            Michelin M45 4.0 is 110 sized tire in actual life and its overkill for Hunk,Sirac Street 100/90-18 is available for 1950+ rs.

            Dunlop monster is very soft compound tire,it loses its grip after 8000kms and there after the center portion of the tire becomes bald.

            • hi guys since u ppl were on the topic was wondering if u could suggest an upgrade for the rear tyre of my hunk (2010), i find the grip insufficient in wet surfaces. almost had a crash with the rear of a swift last month cause the bike lost grip as it started raining.... also would be nice to know how much less efficiency should i expect after the change....
              The purpose of biking -
              100cc- to get from point A to point B
              125cc- to get there fast
              150cc- to have some fun while getting there
              200+cc- to start from point A and forget when point B passed by

                Why dont u try michelin pilot sporty. Its the same size of the stock tire and wont drop your performance or mileage. Trust me, its an awesum tire... I am using it in my bike for quite some time now... Only problem is grip will be less on sand and gravel, but again, even the r15 tyre dont give grip in gravel...which is considered the best stock tire on any bike. You can go for the pilot sporty. Dont go for monster. Its a pathetic tire.. Its gets bald from the centre and its real scary man... No cornering at all with monster... The bike simply wont lean.... U have to forcibly lean the bike for cornering and then hang on like that for dear life...

                  Hey you can try zapper vyde... Its a good tire..., or maybe pirelli mt75...(bit costly though) or michelin pilot sporty...awesum tire. I am using it..,the 18 inch though, bt tire is the same. Best is go for the stock tires. They are too good. By the way zapper vyde costs costed my friend 2100 2 mnths ago, pirelli mt75 maybe its 2600, pilot sporty is 1900 and your stock tire i think is 1900 too. Stock will give you more grip bt pilot sporty will last longer...still giving superb grip and cornering

                    For a hunk, get M45 2.75 * 18 for the front, M45 100/90 * 18 for the rear or Michellin Sirac Street. I've brought M45 and Sirac Street for my cbz extreme and I can tell you that the grip is far better than the stock tyres and cornering wise too there are no issues. Only thing is Sirac street is heavier than MRF Zapper Y. But that doesn't really affect the performance and there is very little or no noticeable mileage diff

                          It can easily be fitted without any problem.... Zapper vyde is a very gud tire... Yes you have to buy tubless valves to make the tire tubeless... The valves dont cost much

                            Then you can go for the zapper q 120/80 x 18... It have awesum dry grip but wet grip is a bit less... Bt whatever it is, the wet grip will be much much better than your stock tire atleast

                                Come on guys,I had told that M45 4.0 is 110/90-18 a million times! Sirac street 100/90-18 is not so heavier than the stock size tire and wont affect mileage or power.
