          Anything more than the stock size (100/90-18)will need a link rod bend.

          • Hi, i have been facing the problem of loss in air pressure by almost 10-15ps once every three to four days in the front tyre of my ZMR. today when i went to a tyre guy he checked for small punctures and couldnt find any. he said the only way the issue can be rectified is by putting a tube in the tyre. is there any sort of drawbacks with this suggestion of is. or kindly please give me ur general feedback or if anyone knows a better tyre guy tell me, i live in bangalore. my bike is just 1 month old and kms run are 2.6K

                    using stock tyres itself, they are tubeless.

                      you can also go for MICHELIN SIRAC STREET 2.75... if it is available in your area..
                      nd.. if you want tyre for pure-tarmac usage... go for ZAPPER-FS... its the Best..
                      Hi Huys

                      Thanks for the suggestions. Yesterday I got M62-Gazelle in 3.00-18 for my Unicorn in Pimpri(Darshan tyres). The guy in the shop was not convinced that Gazelle, being wider, would fit properly in Uni front. He suggested M 45. Though both are good, I liked the pattern of M62 and insisted on the same. Haven't felt any problem due to the wider tyre. I hope its the right choice .

                          Michelin M45 4.0 @ Rear and M45 3.0 @ Front will be a good option for you.I am using these tires in my 2006 model karizma,gives awesome grip & Both of them will cost you nearly 4000RS(approx) w/o tubes.

                            • Hi
                              I have a P220 dtsi 2009 model. I have currently done 17000kms on the stock MRF zappers. I am planning a trip to Spiti this summer and as such I am looking for a tyre that can handle well on roads and at the same time handle Spiti conditions as well. My current tyres are in pretty good shape, but they are not very good off road. Is it possible to use stock front tyre (as its still good) with a dual purpose rear tyre. Also which brand would be suitable for my needs?

                              Thanks in advance

                                Why is it that only my tires are in a pretty bad state just after 15k kms ??
                                Anyway , look no further than the michelin SIRAC 120/90 ( which can be used as tubeless though its supposed to be a tube type ). Tried and tested by many 220 owners ( as in - Leh tested ). It offers amazing grip on all sort of surfaces ..
