You can contact BK Tyres in Lajpat Nagar New Delhi ( Ph : 9810430202 ). He is an authorized Dealer of Michelin. For P220, it will not touch the swingarm. 120/90 17 Sirac is the right tyre for you.

Hello folks,

I want to replace my bike's rear tyre (treads have got lost and its almost bald!!) with a wider one and seek inputs from you.

The stock rear tyre is 3.00 - 18. How do we get to know the width and profile (tyre side height) from this info? What does 3 signify here?

Can I fit in a 100/90x18 Zapper or 100/80x18 on to the rear? Which one would be good? Will it affect the performance/ handling/ mileage?

Please suggest !!
My bike details:
DLX, bought July/2006
Kms run: 14,500

Responses would be highly appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

Ride safe!
Abhishek

3.00 18 refers to 3 inches tyre width and 100% Aspect Ratio which is 3 inches also. 18 inch is the rim size. In comparison naming convention eg. 100/90 18 indicates size in mm. 100mm is the tyre width, 90 % of 120 is the Aspect Ratio and 18 inch is the rim size.

In 3.00 18, Michelin has M45, M35 and M62 patterns. You can check out the website Home - MICHELIN for more details on its products.

Is the cost right?

Hi Friends,

I recently got MRF Zapper Vyde 120/80-17 on rear of my P180 for 2800. It was urgent as my rear tyre now completed 3years 2 months and 27k kms. Also I had a trip planned to jog falls from bangalore i.e. 400kms same weekend.

Is the price correct or was i looted?

Also planning to change the front to MRF stock -90/90-17. what is the cost for the same?

today i enquired about the 120/80 vyde for my 220. they quoted 2000. for 2750 i can get michelin sirac 120/90 here in Jaipur.

**onlinesatish** · 07-27-2010, 10:13 PM

is there any tubeless option for 2.75-18 or 90/90-18 or 18/90-18 available for front tyre?

its for Zma-R. i know Zmr front option is available, but am on the look for other option as well.

sirac 120/90 is a direct fit on 220,no touching of swingarm reported in 220.

sirac has a higher profile than the stock 220 rear so it makes the 90/90 front tyre look very skiny in comparision. a lot of guys are using the FZ's 100/80 front tyre with it or you can also opt for 100/80 from IRC, vee rubber which you can find in Karol bagh( saw this tyre @ globe tyre ,near chopra helmet shop on ARYA samaj road)

the ZMR tyre is a 3.00 and not 2.75 which means bike will not be as flickable as with stock tyres. I am using the ceat secura 2.75 tube tyre with the honda tuffup tube. this is an amazing tyre for off roading purposes, gave me all the traction I needed on my Leh ride. on the highway it is great till you hit 120, any speed over than the stock tyres were better off. good option never the less. you can go for the m45,65 as well with the 65 being a dual purpose tyre.

Ya steve...100% true...problem is....my bro is hell bent on having tubeless tyres and zap fs is his last option for the front! So looking for other options as well. My personal choice was m45!

Am using the same combo on my splendor. MRF RIB 2.75-18(has run 112k kms) with honda tuff up tube. no punchture's tilldate!

Ok so i was looted properly. But i suppose here in bangalore its a bit costly and then its a Tubeless one. Also, people said MRF tyres were'nt available easily at that time so, it was sold at black

Hi,

Thanks for your reply. The visit to the Michelin India website was informative. Can i fit in 3.25-18 tyre in my bike, since I wanted to have a wider cross section tyre? Would it affect the handling/ performance?

Thanks,
Abhishek M

Yes you can. This will not affect handling. This is the official upsize to 3.00 18.
