      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 .
      I dont want to go for ZAPPER FS.. coz its not suited for Off-roads.

      Im going for M62 Gazelle, Secura Sport, etc.

      My riding comprises of... 50% normal City Riding... 25% Touring.. & 25% Rally'ing..!

      I've been using MICHELIN SIRAC so long in a Pulsar 180'Dtsi.... its really an awesome Dual-Purpose tyre.. performs well in Wet-Roads, Broken Roads, Wet-Tarmac, Dirt Tracks, etc...
      I even did a "MotoCross Event" with it.. but the problm is.. its too heavy & badly affects the sprockets n acceleration..!!

      • R15 rear tyre price

        Hi - What should be the mrp of R15's stock rear tyre (Zapper S TL 100/80 17)? An mrf dealer in navi-mumbai panvel is asking rs.1900 for it. Did they increase the price of R15's rear tyre?

        Thanks!

            Yup i guess so that duros are available! Coz I currently have the HF-918 installed on my bike... Superb tyre..

            Michelins too can be used as TL tyres..

                Replacing with a same size tire wont reduce your mileage.

                      Well , if it's affecting your sprockets , think what it's doing to your crank ! Did you fit the stock size for your bike or oversize ? I doubt stock size tyres would be so much heavier as to load your bike . Siracs are indeed great tyres , but try to stick to the normal sizes for your bike .
                      As for your situation .. I can think of only one solution . Many tyres would handle city roads and highway touring just fine .Why don't you keep a separate set of tyres just for rallying ? It would cost you maybe a 100 Rs to switch tyres when you prepare your bike before a rally . Most rallyists does special preparation for bike before the D-day , no ? And your two sets would last just as long together .. so no waste .

                            No... a 120/90 was fitted in a Pulsar 180 (which uses.. 100/90)
                            moreover... SIRAC's are heavier compared to other-brand tyres of the same SIZE..

                            hmm.. thats the BEST solution.. (keeping two sets of tyres).... but actually.. Preparing the Bike for Rally is very costly... moreover i have to do some engine works also...
                            So, very much into financial pressure... as i'm a student..
                            You can understand Dada..

                            Thats y.... opting for a dual-purpose tyre..

                            nyways... If i dont get the SIRAC STREET's.... i'll go for MRF METEOR & MICHELIN M62 GAZELLE..
