      there used to be a time when R15 tyres were hard to find.
      but that's not a problem now.

      i'm not from Pune... but you should be able to find one at any MRF dealer.
      or at a reputed tyre shop.

                • i rode about a total of 35 kms today on the Zapper - S.

                  i am really happy with it.

                  can't hardly wait for the new R15 to launch now.
                  coz i want the new rear tyre.

                  yes. the front end will feel very wierd at first.
                  the tyre actually feels like a 120 tyre upfront.

                  so tread carefully. pun intended.

                  braking "feels" better.
                  i haven't tried hard braking with the new tyre yet.
                  will post results once i do.

                  that's about it.

                      Hi,
                      A friend of mine had switched over to R15 front tyre.
                      He had to get used to the different tyre.That issue was overcome within just a few minutes of riding.
                      According to him, there were no probs while braking.

                          Which is your bike bro? 110 is slightly wider than 100,You wont notice any performance drop in it.

                            were you able to find the 110/80/17??? I have been trying to locate one in Bangalore..

                            mine is apache rtr 180.
                            It takes more love to share the saddle than it does to share the bed :)

                            • Hey Guys, I had a puncture yesterday but since I was within city limits it wasnt a difficult task to get it fixed. But then things wouldnt have been the same had it been a long ride. Does tubeless tyre help in such situations? Is it any better?

                                For long rides in tubeless tyres...the positive thing is that you can repair your puncture yourself....only problem is....you will have to carry the puncture tyre repair kit (very portable) and an air pump! I had a puncture and wished i had bought this repair kit....planning to order it on ebay (150-200 INR)
