      From the picture, I see some uneven wear on the pattern. Uneven wear is common for front tyres without a rib marking in the centre, however it should in no way cause any loss in biking performance or be a cause for instability of the bike. Only in case if it is, then you should be concerned about it.

I went to a tyre shop where the owner claimed that it is the best tyre for wet road. The price was 900. I am not sure if its the right price and the right tyre. When i asked about michelin, he said i am the first customer who has asked 4 michelin.

              i've got just the links for you

              check out the kit contents below:
              Tubeless Tyre Repair Kit,Tubeless Tyre Repair Tool Kit Manufacturers,Suppliers

              kit would cost you somewhere between 200-500Rs

              And this is how you use it..same procedure for Bike tyres aswell.

              The Tubeless Revolution - Repairing Punctures: A Breeze on Tubeless Tyres

              I would personally recommend a footpump(which also has the pressure gauge) to be carried along with the kit.
              Just because you haven't seen it doesnt mean its impossible...expect the unexpected.

                  Guys, need help with tyres for my 2006 P180 DTSi. Its run around 28600+ kms till now on stock tyres. I need to change the rear tyres in two or three days, and front also in the coming weeks.

                  Stock- 100/90 17 Zapper C Rear. 90/90 17 Zapper FS front.

                  READ the forum, but all this has left me even more confused on which one will best suit me.

                  Requirements-
                  • Cornering grip is not a big priority, but i need good stability. Average speeds around 60+, and i like the occassional clean corners. But usually, more of a cruiser than a stunter.
                  • Braking grip on sands/wet surfaces. (IMO stock Zapper-C does not grip under hard braking)

                  Options-
                  Went to a few shops, and saw these-
                  Rear-
                  • MRF Zapper C TT/TL.
                  • MRF Meteor 100/90 TT (Looked good and wide, and felt soft than my stocktzapper!). How is the performance of this tyre?
                  • Dunlop Monster. (Felt almost like Meteor)
                  • Michelin shop told they dont have anything in 17, only for 18!

                  Front-
                  • MRF Zapper FS 90/90 17

                  Which of these would suit my requirements? As of now, i am thinking between Dunlop Monster/ MRF Meteor. Any other brands i should consider? Since i dont know the city too much, it would be good if someone from Chennai can point out some good shops as well.

                    It does have a rib in the centre.

                    Its T\L

                    With 28psi the bulges are not very noticable . But as the tyre heats up its very much noticeable.It had 0 puncture aswell

                      In Assam. Dibrugarh. The shop deals in two wheeler spares. I guess, Michelin is nonexistant in this part of the world. Can you suggest me name of a dealer who could possibly courier the tyre to me. I am thinking of changing the tyre before monsoon hits. Raj.

                          Guys, How many kms does the R15 tyres lastunder normal driving conditions?

                          Also, will it make a big difference in top-speed (reduction) due to the tyres being one size less than my stock tyres?

                                I have these tires on my pulsar 200.

                                They last about 8000kms. The drop in top speed or acceleration is not noticeable at all.

                                These tires make the bike a lot more flickable, also with a stiffer suspension makes the bike a lot more planted in corners.
