      100/80 might scrape the shocks or the fender
      Also it will make front heavier RTR's riding stance is already front heavy. Pirelli CityDemon 90/90 should be good.

        Go for PSD 100/90 front and 130/80 rear. It will reduce acceleration and top-end a little. But u will be blown away by the handling it will offer. My friend has a RTR180 with similar set-up and it kicks butt.

          Tyres for 150 ug3

          Guys, my rear tyre of pulsar 150 ug3 has worn out completly , and only the side grip is thr at present . In chennai , the tyre rates are quite high .

          MRF zapper costs around Rs.2300 (FOR REAR ALONE)

          Ceat Tubeless comes around Rs. 1700

          Dunlop around Rs.1300


          Now, apart from Mrf , which other brand can i go for ?? ( my budget is 1500 rs ...)

          Also , can anyone suggest which tyres can i put ??

            @Swaroopce

            If its MRF then go for dazzler's rear tyre which is 110/80 tubeless.. For front R15's front one 80/90 will be perfect.
            2300 seems to be quite high. Here 120/80 zapper vyde costs almost the same.

              Tyre suggeastion for RTR160

              I want to replace my RTR160 rear tyre. Confused between M45, Sirac and MRF zapper. Pls suggest a suitable tyre which offers good wet grip and it should not affect bike's performane much.

              Posting a pic of tyre with bike, will be helpful.

                    Changed the rear tyre from Veerubber 110/80 to michellen pilot sporty 100/90 on sunday. Costed me 1950 + 150 for the valve. Vee rubber lasted for 18k kms but i dragged it till abt 22k kms (short on budget). I wanted Sirac Street 100/90 but the shop keeper still did'nt get the stock. I did'nt want to wait so i choose this.

                      you seem to be having an R15...get your rim checked...there may be a bend due to any impact....or even the problem may be with the valve itself !
                      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 ! :)

                            @All: I've been thinking of tyre replacement for my Fiero F2.
                            Stock sizes of the Fiero are 2.75&3.00*18", whereas in case of the F2, the front remains the same, but rear is 90/90/18". 90/90/18" is midway between 3.00&100/90/18", the latter I'm running on my bike currently-Dunlop GeoCruiser.
                            After having tried out the above, I have been thinking whether to go in for a smaller 3.00*18" (76.2mm.)for which tubes will be easily available, or for a 3.25*18"(82.5mm) for which tubes may not be so easily available.
                            Have a look at this link, which shows that 90/90/18" translates to around 81mm. and by that logic 3.00*18" will come to 82.5mm which is very close (100/90/18" is around 90mm.so off the mark there): Motorcycle Tire Sizes - webBikeWorld
                            There is one MRF Zapper Q, which is available in 90/90/18" stock spec, but not readily available. Even if I order for it, tubes will be an issue later on. So unable to decide. Michelin has 3.25"18" in M45 which is a really good tyre. But there again availability of 3.25*18" is an issue.
                            What do you suggest? I don't want to go for TVS tyres in anycase!

                              Where else anna, ramkoti. you can get Michelins at almost all the michelin dealers. now all of them are stocking bike tyres too.

                              M45's i dont know the exact rate but approximately 2.75 is around 1250rs and 3.00 is around 1400rs. tube would cost between 150-250rs depending upon the brand and quality.

                              Either go for Zapper Q 90/90 or M45 3.25 anna. Am sure you wont have much difficulty in finding tubes. besides you wont be chaning it frequently. buy a spare tube and stock it with you anna. my frined is using 3.25 M45 on his gladiator and must say the handling has improved tremendously!

                                Ok, enquired at Secunderabad yesterday. Michelin M45 was readily available for Rs.1700&1900 with tubes, 2.75"&3.00". 3.25" not in stock.

                                Either go for Zapper Q 90/90 or M45 3.25 Anna. Am sure you wont have much difficulty in finding tubes. Besides you wont be chaning it frequently. Buy a spare tube and stock it with you Anna. my friend is using 3.25 M45 on his Gladiator and must say the handling has improved tremendously!
                                Hmm, I'm also thinking on the same lines-stocking a spare tube, since 3.25" / 90/90/18" tubes are not as much running as 2.75" or 3.00" or 100/90/18" tubes.
                                Now the choice has to be made between M45&Zapper Q for the rear.
                                I will put both of the same company obviously. Zapper Q seems to be out of stock as usual at MRF. Koti might have or able to order. I was weighing pros&cons&felt that if I go for 90/90/18" Zapper Q, I can get tubes more easily as the same size will be available in TVS also. M45 is only 1.5mm wider-no issues on that too. Moreover last time I played around with GeoCruiser 100/90/18" so I'm more keen on sticking to stock size now.
                                What do you suggest?
