    These are the tyre specs on my bike:-
    [1] Front - 2.75x17
    [2] Rear - 100x90x17

    What tires should I go for and what brand should I consider?
    zapper vyde 120/80 x 17 rear and zapper fs 90/90 x 17 front. Best and most economical conversion. Both are tubeless.... The front one is the 220 tyre

        bro dont look further, go for zapper vyde. My friend is using it in his rtr 180..... Perfect fit, perfect looks, perfect performance and perfect price.... Grip is very good... You can consider the r15 v1 rear tyre. You know how good the tyre is. And fitting the r15 rear tyre will increase your acceleration than your stock tire but top speed will drop by say 3-4 kmph

            • Guys looking to change the rear tyre of my bike.

              Got a quote of 2050 for Sirac street 3.0 18" without tube, is the price ok?

              How is the performance of M45 in comparison with sirac street?

                zapper vyde is 120/80 x 17. And r15 rear is 100/80 x 17.., the r15 rear tire is not fatter bro. Its 1 size smaller than your stock size.... Vyde is a full paisa vasool tire... And fitting r15 rear tire will increase accelaration because the height of the tire is lesses than your stock tire.... Lesser the height more will be the accelaration and less will be your top speed....because the overall gearing will change and become shorter....mileage may decrease a bit, bt you wont feel it....its very negligible.... Maybe 1 kmpl.... And fitting a taller tire will mean slower accelaration but more top speed, and maybe slight increase in mileage...this will be the case if you fit zapper vyde...and slower accelaration doesnt mean very slow accelaration....jst marginally slow.... Hope this helps.... And if you want more accelaration you can always go for sprocketing.....

                    you are welcomed bro. But r15 tire for rs. 2450 is very high. Here in kolkata its between 1800-2000....varies shop to shop.... And pilot sporty is a good tire.... I am using pilot sporty(thailand made) on my tvs flame and i can swear by its grip.... Its too soft compound man. Wearing out real fast.... And you try to fit pilot sporty as tubeless also. Heard people using it as tubeless.... And one more choice... Pirell mt 75... Size is 100/80 x 17... Awesum tire. Price is somewhere around 2.6k i guess... And zapper vyde is 120/80 though after fitting it it appears quite thin and the tire becomes round. Its not like zapper c. You wont loose much performance... And regarding the joel ffe, plz give me feedbacks regarding that plz....i want to know....thnx in advance. 9883596405...ths is my number.... U can txt me....want to hear from you about the ffe

                      Ahem ok... So cant it be like if i give a query on the mrf site for the price of r15's rear tyre.....i have read people buying the tyre and complaining to mrf for high price and they got it redeemed...?? Anyways pirelli is not a option at all as its very costly.....michellin can be thought of but im afraid tht if i use it as a tubeless will there be any problems later on...as i have read its not advisable....and zapper vyde 120/80-17 is good but i just dont want any performance drop at all...mileage drop of 2-4 kmpl is acceptable but even a single bot of drop down performance is not acceptable for me as i use my bike daily for racing in the city and highway....and regarding the ffe i will surely message u soon once i order and get it installed maybe by the mid or end of november......thnxx

                            Hey finally i went for MRF Zapper Vyde 120/80-17 ! Im in love with it! ITs awesome! 10 times better than the stock tvs tyres! And i could notice the drag at high speeds! top speed might have reduced by 3-4 kmph! but im totally fine with it since im finding it Higly stable!(Dry conditions also amazing grip and even in wet conditions also very good!)

                                I got R15's rear tyre for around Rs. 1900 in Ajmer. Don't pay more than 2000 as there haven't been any hikes recently.

                                And you will lose performance with any of the grippier tyres, even R15's...
                                See the MRF/ Ceat's earlier I had on my P180 UG3 were medium compound. Yours is hard compound and that means lesser drag, and that's a big reason why the RTR raise hell compared to bikes with similar power...

                                You will lose performance for sure, although just a bit. But be prepared to get some serious lean angles and braking power, because RTR has a very capable chassis and braking, limited only by those tyres.
                                And no, you won't need to heat them up much. It grips right from the morning ride!
