    Hello Friends,

    My R15 completed 22K+ and within 3 months I am expecting tyre change (since front and rear tyres threads almost near to finish)

    So I have found below good tyres for my R15

    Pirelli Tyre
    Front - 90/80 - 17 M/C 46S TL or 90/80 - 17 M/C 46P TL
    Rear - 100/80 - 17 M/C 52P TL

    Michelin Tyre
    Front- Michelin Pilot Sporty 90/80 -17 46S
    Rear - Michelin Pilot Sporty 110/80 -17 57S

    or

    I can still go for MRF ? Please suggest

    Also where can I find above pirelli or michelin tyre in Pune?
    R15 Stock is The Best ! never mind in going for the Same tyre again ,
    I have used The R15 F & R in My p220 FI for Drag Races , they are the Best and Promises a lot

      • Which set is better for a cbz extreme ?

        Front - Michelin M45 or MRF Zapper FM
        Rear - Michelin Street Sirac or MRF Zapper C or Zapper Q

        Links

        Michelin M45 - findTyre - motorcycle.michelin.in
        Sirac Street - findTyre - motorcycle.michelin.in

        MRF Front tyres - MRF Tyres
        Rear tyres - MRF Tyres

        I think the M45 for the front and Street Sirac or Zapper C would be a very good combination.
        What do you guys think ?

        Do you ever notice that when you're driving, anyone going slower than you is an idiot and everyone driving faster than you is a maniac ?

        • You can try M45 on front and Sirac Street on Rear. Or Get Sirac Street Front fitment for front and Rear for rear.

          • ZMR rear tyre

            ZMR rear tyre are 100/90-18...
            MRF guy told me that i can try Zapper Q 120/90-18. It would provide better grip.

            Is he correct? is the tyre good? any adverse effect on acceleration, top speed and mileage?
            Zapper Q is also available in 100/90-18 and 110/90-18

            • +1 to that. I have the M45&Sirac Street combo on my Fiero F2&it is really good. I was earlier thinking of both M45s or M62 for the rear, but decided against it due to the shopkeeper's pestering me to try Sirac Street-I am pretty happy with it too. It has buttons in the centre&soft compound on the sides, so cornering is not an issue.
              The M45 is the highlight though-it grips like a leech!

              If you are looking for harder tyres for constantly carrying pillion etc., get the Dunlop GeoCruiser-it lasts very very long!
              Front would be Dunlop CityCruiser I think-just check the Dunlop tyres once.

              Since you have already used MRF Zappers, why don't you try some other brand? I'm sure Michelins will please.

                Zapper Q is a good tire,but read somewhere that it wont give much grip on wet. and 120 is overkill,go for 110/90-18 or stick to stock sized tire.

                Dunlop Geo Cruiser will start losing grip after 6- 8k kms.

                  The wet grip of zapper q isn't that good.. instead I would prefer zapper c if I were to choose MRF.

                  Thanks Sarvajit, I'm pretty much inclined towards M45 for the front and Sirac Street for the rear tyre. Will be getting it done this saturday. If you know of any dealer, pls let me know. I contacted Ashoka Tyres, M.G.Road,Sec'bad .

                    I got it from Punjagutta-the small shop after Balaji. Enquire prices at the big shop&then quote that-he will reduce it further&give after bad mouthing Balaji!
                    I got both for Rs.2800 IIRC.
                    Fitting in opposite lane. Mention my name there-you will find a shock absorber&wheel throughing shop also.
                    Get the inside rubber also changed on the rim-they will apply after putting powder.
