    3. Michelin Sirac 120/90

    Anything options for me? For the front I want to retain 90/90 sizing and rear anything of (120\110)/(90\80) will do...but all tubeless.....
    Front: MRF 90/90 Best..
    Rear: MRF VYOE 120/80
    MRF NyloZapper-Q 120/80
    Please See.. Brother DO NOT,Do not go for the one in FZ..it is specially made for FZ..not for 220,cos once you tapper the tyre to take a steep corner it goes bubbling and haggling like ghut-ghut-ghut..
    as if you are sitting on a tractor.. Dammm..
    More Over if you want you can even go For a DURO SET tubeless.. those seeems to be the best option here..
    Sunny is himself using those,and its been somewhere around 25,000/- Kms they are still in good condition..
    and GOD knows what all places have he visited on those tyres..


    P.S: Its entirely on the basis on what i have used the tyres...

        As of now front the options are:
        1. MRF Zapper FS 90/90
        2. Vee Rubber 100/80 <not too keen, but have rave reviews from a user>

        Rear:
        1. MRF Zapper C 120/80
        2. MRF Zapper Vyde 120/80 <till now my first choice>

        Front: Is Zapper FS the same ones as in the R15? I would recommend that one.

        Rear: is there any reason you are not considering the IRC? Its available in Bangalore AFAIK.

          Its Not Very Goood..Indeed..

          @Praful-If you want Yoou can do is.. You can look for Nylo Zapper-S (R-15's Rear Tyre), as your Front tyre its: 100/80 Section..Soft Compound..
          And Rear a nylo Zapper Q OR VYOE.. The Best i could Suggest..

            U have used zapper C more than anyone on a P220 to know abt its performance

            Zapper Vyde is just awesome.....i'd rate it better than zapper C esp in cornoring.....u'd love the difference...but then ravi's 220's Zapper Vyde wored out within 10k kms.it included the HX also.

            Now wat can i say abt Michelin Sirac. If u can sacrifice lil bit of acceleration then just go for it! Its one freaking tyre....just awesome for Offroading. I tried Ravi's bike....it felt wired initally coz the height of the bike had increased. The initial surge was missing but the top end had increased!
            Bike felt lot more stable than both the tyres. Am not sure abt its cornoring abilities...better call up ravi for it

            P.s Michelin sirac with a front 90/90 looks real punny

            For the front.....y not a TVS 90/90 tyre

            Ravikiran's Pee220 with a rear tractor tyre(michelin sirac) and a punny front tyre

              Thats a decent review, howz the handling vis-a-vis the Zapper C in wet conditions?

              Zapper FS is the one that comes stock with 220, the R15 tyres though extremely good, will/might not be so good on the 220.

              What are the sizes available in IRC?

                  As far as cornering is concerned, its as good as the Zapper C.

                  But I'm having second thoughts about this tyre as the front tyre is totally different from the Siran, compatibility issues...

                    and it looks pretty wierd too....i think even ravi is on the look out for a bigger tyre for the front.

                    How will a M45 would be with the sirac?

                      well handling in terms of cornering is pretty much better than zapper C and i even observed certain gain in mileage because of its roundish profile. And yea, in wet conditions zapper C lacks in grip as given by VYDE...for rs.1700 for normal conditions i would suggest this tyre
                      its all about CC...

                              Ravi Kiran did his whole HX with this tyre and his review is satisfactory. But may be because of the HX and adding to it that this is a soft compound tyre (as per the MRF ad in Bike India 2 months back) it's worn out quickly.
