    i have a R 15 which has clocked just 7000 kms in a 2yrs time, there's a small crack in the tyre and also had a lot of punctures the tread is fine i need to go to fill in the air every day, i dont know from where does the air leak from.

    as of which i thought of going in fitting a tube in the tyre, i don't know how it would effect and also would like to know if again i can fit a tube less tyre after using a tube in it,

    what tyre would be best suitable for rough roads always full of mud and sand no clean roads in my town? shall i go in for a mrf tube tyre?


    plz help me brothers
    You will get the Ceat Vertigo tyre in the same size i.e., 100/80/17" It is an offroading tyre. But you can forget about cornering with it. Take it to Ladakh if you please!

        It is the same tyre that you already have. You are looking for grip in gravel&offroads. Zappers are known for their grip on tarmac&wet conditions.

            Yes you can fit a tube type also.

            Yes you can fit 120 section tyre, but see if it touches the swingarm.
            More than the size of the tyre (R15 stock tyres are very grippy, since they are soft compound), you should be thinking about the compound used. You need a harder compound for your riding conditions, IMO.

            • I believe the Honda Dazzler uses a 100/80 17 MRF Zapper tyre. Its a harder compound and you get to retain the size as well. Else you can look at the 100/90 17 Zapper but it will increase the height of the rear.

                    • Hi Fellow XBhpians,
                      I own a ZMA-R, which is a year old and clocked 22k kms.
                      Now although my stock tyres are good enough to run for another 10k, I want to change them to tubeless for better wet grip and durability.

                      Can somebody suggest me some good tubeless tyres which will fit in the bike without any mods and give better grip for cornering

                      Thanks in Advance!!!

                        better wet grip and cornering dont go too well together !

                        you can choose between the pirelli or the sirac then !
                        A very good and safe biker not only because he can pop up either of the wheels,scrape his knees on a corner or go fast and make it look stylish but because he very well knows his limits and capabilities and has the patience to learn about others and ride safe ! :)

                          I am exactly looking for the same bro...but can I get any tyres from Pirelli in 100/90*18 or a little over size
                          Also for the front I will need a 2.75*18
                          If I go for Michelin I can get a Sirac and a M45 for the front, but again those are TT
