              if you want a good tyre for Off Road condition.. then go for Ceat vertigo 100/90 or 120/80 wonderful dual purpose tyre or Dunlop Monster in the same above sizes

                1 inch = 25.3 mm, therefore 3.00 size is around 76mm. 4.00 size is close to 100 mm. Please google conversion rate from inches to mm to confirm the same.

                • For Bikers who have used a Michelin Tyre for the entire Tyre Life

                  Hi Everyone,

                  Michelin is in the process of collecting information from Bikers who have used a Michelin tyre in terms of the mileage that the tyre lasted and other inportant feedback.

                  Any guys who have used a Michelin Tyre for the entire tyre life, can contact me at [email protected]

                  in appreciation of your Feedback, we would be glad to send you a Michelin sticker for your bikes.

                  • At the Auto expo, one stall right next to the Harley pavilion had Pirelli tyres for display, from the 190 section SBK ones right down to the 100 section front ones.

                    I enquired about the rates for a Pirelli Sport Demon 130/70-17 and another 100/??-17 for my 200. the rear itself was quoted at 3500-4000 and the front at 500 cheaper.



                    I will use my stock MRF's till they become slicks

                      how much did it cost you and hows the grip in comparison to the stock tires ?

                      are these soft compound or hard just like stock ?

                      have you noticed any difference in acceleration or fuel efficiency ?

                          Price without tube inclusive of taxes is 1589. So Price with tube is ok.

                          I am not sure about the availability of this size but you can check out. New stocks for this will come in in 1.5 months. Please check with Dealer. I know that it is available in Gurgaon, Bhuvaneshvar and Ahmedabad.
                          @GoGreen: Quoting a post from 6months back. I'm looking for new tires for my 2009 Unicorn. The stock setup is 2.75 x 18 MRF ZAPPER FS and 100/90 x 18 MRF ZAPPER Y.

                          If i were to switch to Michelin. What would be the closest to stock options for me ? And i don't want to go for anything with lesser width than stock.

                          You've mentioned that the M45 3.25 rear for the Unicorn woukd be an upsize and you recommend a 3.00 18. But correct me if i'm wrong 3.25 x 25.4mm is 82.55 which is still lower than the stock 100mm width.

                          Thanks in advance.

                          @all: It is going to be a toss between Michelin M45s or Dunlop Geocruisers for both F/R. Suggestions/comparisons/other options required from you all. Help will be very much appreciated.

                            I was mentioning how the tyre will look when fitted on the bike.

                              Dear Gurumurthy 88,

                              Please refer to my post 6 months back where I have taken the stock rear tyre to be 3.00 18 for the Unicorn as per the data available to me and suggested 3.25 18 as an upsize.

                              However, if 100/90 18 is the stock size for 2009 Unicorn, a 4.00 18 M45 would be a perfect fit. So a front and rear M45 could be a good option for you.

                                the cost of tyre is 1800 rs. the grip is awesome traction is good but never noticed abt fue efficencyl. overall tyre is cool but being heavier affects chain set of u r bike.
