Thanx buddy!

Pirelli Sport Demon

140 x 70 x 70

Price: INR.4150

is the price is OK for bombay???

Whoa! And I thought 3.45K in Bangalore was expensive.

Guys any idea of a 2.75x17 tyre? Is the MRF FS available? (I couldn't find it anywhere!). Any other options available in Mumbai?

leakage from the side walls of tubeless tyre

Hey guys i've been using IRC stock tyre on my P220 and bike clocked around 5700 kms. The problem i am facing these days is leakage from the side walls of the rear 120/80 IRC tubeless tyre. The tyre have been checked for this issue around 3 times and after sometime it started leaking again . The tyre wala now says that either use a tube or chang the tyre but i don't wanna use tube and my tyre is pretty much new and treads are almost as new so my heart and pocket both don't really want to change it. Can anyone tell me what to do now?? Do i have to change tyre??

the problem may not be in the tyre but on the RIM of the bike. have the rim edges inspected throughly for any scratches etc which may be cause uneven sealing/seating of the tyre. using tube on tubeless in not good for speed riding. use tubes as "first aid only" an revert back.

I want to fit MRF Zapper - Vyde tyre for my R15 at the Rear. Can someone post its cost (price) of the tyre? Thanks

I have seen a R15 near my college fitted with zapper vyde at rear. It is possible but not as wide as it supposed to be. The price is 2.4k here in Cbe.

Zapper Vyde is for around 2350/- in delhi.

Hey Guys i want to change my rear tyre. I own a pulsar 220 dtsi and want to change my tyre as there is leakage from the side walls of the tyre. Please suggest me decent tyres with a respectable life within budget of 2500 /- . Is zapper Vyde has good grip in wet??? howz it for leaning??

With nearly 11,000 kms on the odo on my 4-month old 220, the rear tyre is wearing out faster than I had expected. Primarily I attribute that to the nonstop 800+ kms that I did this month. [ Total trave 3200 kms, 1600 kms with average speeds of 80kmph and 1600 kms with average speeds of 60kmph. Speeds mostly done were above 100 at good tarmac roads in daytime, in moderately hot weather conditions]

11k is okay, a bit short for tyre life but IRC's for me performed satisfactorily even in wet. Although since I am going to go for a tyre change in another 2k kms (which shall be piled up in a short amount of time) why not go for something better.

Options I've come down to are :-

MRF Zapper Vyde (120/80-17) ? (not sure of tyre specs)

Michellin Sirac (120/90-17)
I don't mind if the gearing gets taller due to this. I just want the ability to cruise better at higher speeds without endangering myself.

Would like to the cost of both the tyres, and where I can get them in Bangalore.

I am near Bangalore and will travel to Bangalore for purchasing the tyres.Which tyre is suited for long distance trips and will last at least 10k kms ? [at speeds above 80kmph while touring, cause that how most of the miles are piled up on the odometer on my bike.]

Which tyre is best for pulsar 220FI.
1> IRC P220F stock rear tyre
2> Michelin Sirac 120/90 r17
3> Pireli
4> MRF zapper soft compound.

best on road tyre- pirelli sport demon 130/70 rs 3300 to 3500.
best on-off road tyre michelin sirac rs 2750

Expected Life for the Sirac is 15 - 20k . Ofcourse a lot depends on Riding Style, Road Conditions etc

New Tyres for GS150R

Hi all,

I am looking to change tyres on my 15k run GSR. Recently have had a couple of low speed crashes on gravel because of which have lost confidence in the stock mrf zappers.

Which one would you recommend for grip on gravel/muddy roads.
And also, I want to stagger the purchases. So which one should I buy first - front or rear.. I predominantly use the front brakes only. Rear only 10%.

For now I have shortlisted the Michelin M62 for the front (2.75 x 18) and Sirac Street (100/90/18) for the rear. Can anyone share their experiences with these tyres with me..


Thanks & Regards
Srinivas

Woot. Thank you for the quick reply. Tyre life is fine by me, even if its less than 15k

Where can I get this tyre in Bangalore and what should I be paying for this tyre ?
