    PSD is a excellent tyre, may b the best available for Indian bikes.
    You can go for Zapper vyde as well, offers great grip on dry and wet tarmac!

        Zapper C is the stock tyre...right
        AFAIK it is hard compound and vyde is medium compound, then how come C provides better grip in wet tarmac ?

          +1^^ AFAIK Zapper Vyde offers more grip! wears out faster as its soft compound.

            I have used both tyres so I'm speaking from experience.

            Zapper Vydes *don't* have better grip in wet, they are a shade lower.

            Also, straighline braking performance is lesser in Vyde than Zapper C.

            So when you are panic braking in wet with a straightline, its a little more scary than Zapper C.

            Yes Zapper C is the stock tyre and its not a hard compound tyre! It wears off in 18-22K on an avg for most people.

              I have used neither of them...so cant debate .Experience speaks better than facts on papers. Thanks for the information wanderer!!!
              In your opinion, which tyre provides best tarmac grip apart from PSD's(Not on straight line, while cornering).I feel very minimum difference between dry road and wet road grip on my PSD.

                Have never used PSD's. My experience is limited to Zapper C --> Zapper Vyde --> Sirac for the rear tyre!

                    New Tyres for Pulsar 150

                    Hi Guys,

                    I want to change my pulsar's rear tyre asap. I have decided on the Michelin Sirac. I've heard its got good wet grip too.Need ur views on it or any other tyre which falls in that range( very good dry and wet grip )

                    I'll mostly get the tyre changed this week... inputs will be really handy

                      Got Dunlop 90/90-17 for my friend's P200 today from JC Road. Paid 1600 for tube type tyre. Bought it from Cherry Agencies.

                              Do fix it&let us also know about the handling, top speed etc.!
                              I have similar doubts for R15 rear tyre. I need a performer for patchy roads with sand and gravel. As of now the rear tyre skids on smallest of gravel patches.
                              Regarding the ones you mentioned, are these also soft compound ones? And how much will i compromise on leaning abilities compared to stock ones.

                              How much does Pirelli cost?
