  • Hi
    Is Zapper FV good for a RX135? I have Zapper C at the rear and want a good front one.

    PERSEVERE... failure is not an option!

          120/80 18 Sirac is the size from Michelin that would fit without mods.

                What are the advantages of sirac over m45. I need a tyre with good grip in village roads with lots of mud (kichad). The stock dimension is 100/90 18". Will any of these fit? Raj.

                        • Tubeless Tires For Suzuki GS150 R

                          Guys,

                          Im planning to change my bike tires to tubeless tires. Front is 2.75 18"

                          rear 100/90 18"

                          is tubeless available for this size ? i enquired in MRF they have for 17" and michellin is 2500/tire and only sirac available. Though one dealer in chennai saying its available for my size company website saying its not.

                          Also i heard its heavy so it will affect performance. Bike came with MRF Zapper Q in Rear and MRF Zapper FS in front. Its giving good stability

                          why am looking for tubeless is to get good mileage and to get rid of puncher problem. As bike is 149kgs it will be difficult in case of puncher.

                          please share your views and suggest a good light weight all purpose tubeless. Changing rear alone will do good or both should be changed ?

                                Thats right, Michelin offers tube type tires. Currently, I am not looking for tubeless ones. Also I am only changing the rear one. Sirac is available in 120/80 dimension. I think it can be fitted without any mods. By the way my bike has a zapper y at the rear. Are you sure yours has a zapper q? Raj.
