i have been looking for pirelli front tyres for my P150 for quite some time now......and its disgusting to know that it is really hard to find.

searched online....got pirelli's delhi main H.O. number.....(011)44128789.......

they gave their distributor's number for pune....(020) 26332501.....ralson tyres

then they gave RF enterprises nanpeth........number (020) 26330245

RF enterprises say they only have MT75 model in 100/80R17 and there is no pirelli tyre of size 90/90R17 either in sports demon or MT75 line up........

guys ......can anyone help me ..........where can i get Pirelli front tyre in Sports Demon or MT75 range of size 90/90R17

India is not a condusive place for bikers.....

update: again called pirelli delhi H.O.
this time they gave me a number of Mr. Harsh........there guy........he says if it is not available and we place an order it may take 3 months........he will go to his office in ludhiana......and check if it is available or can be ordered quickly......he promised to call me back by tuesday.

fingers crossed........waiting anxiously for his reply.

i had the same experience from Pirelli who referred me to Enterprises. Ill be going for the MRF Zapper 90/90-17 or 80/90-17.

With the stock tyres of my bike ( splendor+ mrf nylogrip ST plus 2.75x18 rear / ribbed mrf nylogrip 2.75x18 front ) I am experiencing tramline effect on indented roads & nervous handling on bad patches & poor wet handling . We have lots of bad and very-bad patches here in kolkata .

I have decided to replace both stock tyres .... 3.00x18 MRF nylogrip moto C in rear ( for better grip and stability, having used moto c's on my RX I like them !! ) .....& ... 2.5x18 tvs/ceat ribbed in front ( for lighter handle and better acceleration ) , keeping the same PR ratings .

Is it a good idea considering that I am uprating the rear while downrating the front ? Will my front rim take a 2.5x18 at all ? The rear I know takes 3.00x18 alryt .

Well , I replaced the stock rear tyre ( mrf nylogrip ST plus ) with same size (2.75x18) nylogrip Moto-C , much better stability and grip now

. Decided against thicker one (3.00x18) . Will be downgrading the front to thinner MRF RIB from 2.75x18 to 2.5x18 soon . i.e arriving at the same config as my RX135 stock .
Now , while changing the tyre I noticed rust , a band of rust actually , running along the inside lip where the tyre lip meets the rim , all the way around the rim. I have chromed steel spokes rim . Sorry I couldn't get any pics as the tyre guy was hurrying me and it was night before holi . It is just 9 months old . And RUST

!! DO you guys have rust in the insides of your rims ? What do you do about it ?

How much did it cost you?
The tyre is simply the best tubeless option for the Zeema. Have been running the same profile SDs on my Zma for the last 3k kms and they've been spectacular on both dry and wet tarmac.
My only grouse (if any) is that the profile makes the rear hop and skip a bit on broken tarmac and the soft-compound rubber gives me nightmares regarding cuts/scrapes

They r direct fit in RTR 180. Ya balance and stability is going to be affected for sure though in a positive way.

The road grip will improve a lot, u will feel the difference if you are changing from your tvs tyres. Good luck

The R15s tyres offer great grip but one problem you might face is that they might need replacement earlier than other tyres (basing this statement on feedback I have received from several other R15 owners & on my own experiences)
