Hello guys, I am a newbie on the tyre scene and would appreciate some help.
I have a Hyosung Aquila and the rear tyres are 130/80. These are MRFs and that is how the bike came in from the dealer when I bought the bike. However, the right size for the bike is 150/80 - 15 rim.
Two questions.
1) Is the 150/80, 15inch rim size tyre available in India with a good manufacturer. Michelin/Pirelli etc?
2) I was thinking to upsize it to 170 or 180. In which case the only option I came up was on the MRF site. They have a 170/70 - 15. Are there any other serious options in the 170 - 180 size 15" rim size?
Thanks!

Fitted Pirelli Sport Demon on Apache RTR
I own Apache RTR 160
Rear tyre: 100/80 18"
I fitted Pirelli Sport Demon 110/80 tubeless on rear wheel today. The guys at the shop told me 110/80 and tubeless will not affect but I want to know it here.
Will 110/80 tubeless tyre reduce fuel efficiency and will it fitt properly on the alloy since stock tyre is 100/80 with tube? Plz helpLast edited by Zulu_Authentic; 11-03-2010, 03:52 PM.
