    Heard that R15's stock tire is the best for R15.Dont know much about that.but putting 120 or 130 will definitely decrease your top end.

              CEAT VERTIGO SPORT??

              & for the FRONT.... I'm confused between...
              MRF MOTO C??
              MRF MOTO D??
              MICHELIN M62'GAZELLE??
              CEAT SECURA SPORT??

              I need Dual-Purpose Tyres... which will perform well in On/Off Road both..
              I have used both MRF moto-c/moto-d , moto-c is better , but both are directional rear tyres IMO . I have them on my RX135 and now my splendor . Moto-C is excellent for rough roads / broken asphalt / wet muddy slush and good for normal indian roads too . For front tyre I use MRF RIB but MRF zapper FS is also very good for front tyres .

              • Tyre Pressure in Pulsar 150 DTSI

                Hi,

                I own a Pulsar 150 DTSI.
                I have a MRF Meteor tyre in rear wheel.
                I want to know what should be the perfect tyre Pressure in Front and Rear Wheel of the Pulsar 150 ?
                Currently i kept Front tyre - 25 and Rear Tyre - 30.

                    25 for Front and 32[old models] & 35[Latest models]for Rear.

                      Do you need dual purpose tires? or for city riding?

                        Coming to the front tire,I had seen moto-d used as rear tires in RX here,don't know how it performs as front fitment,So i am selecting M62 Gazelle for Front.



                        Thanks Bro...

                        But.. i think CEAT VERTIGO SPORT is available in 100/90 size even... nyways... I'll prefer MRF METEOR more than VERTIGO... !!

                        n Since M62 is of harder compound thn M45... i think it'll be better..!!

                          hmm.. but some people use MOTO-C & D in front even...
                          have no idea how it performs..!!

                          MRF Zapper FS... is an excellent tyre.. I have been using it in my Karizma R... for the past 29000kms..

                          It has excellent grip & handling...in Corners even..
                          only.. of Off-Road/ Dirt conditions it cant perform well...

                              Moto-C was the favourite rear tyres for 19" bullet's rims too .
                              Since it is now fashionable to flaunt the most disproportionately fat tyres with the most aggressive looking tread patterns , so many people will do many things . I cannot see my tyres while riding 'em , so I'd rather stick to what rides best for me .
                              As you already have good experiences with zapper-FS go for it in front .
                              Stick to the stock size for front , fatter front will degrade your steering and pickup . You should not expect any tyre to perform it's best in both urban roads and dirt-tracks and wild forest trails at once . Decide what 80% of your riding surface will be and fit tyres accordingly . Rest 20% you shall survive .
                              michelin M45's are great tubed city road tyres , a bit quicker to wear ... but great grip . You can try them for the rear . For mucho less money MRF zapper-Q / nylogrip-plus is also good for rears .

                                A friend of mine used Moto-D in Pulsar 1stG front, had to change to Zapper. Didn't even rode a week on Moto. Cornering as very difficult with that.
