    What about the grip of Pirelli is it better than Michelin & MRF. My requirement is good grip tyre with some sporty look that's why i've choose Michelin Pilot sporty.

    But Pirelli SD 100/80-17 is a front fitment tyre Na
    Rear fitment starts from 130/70-17

          • 19 " tyre for bullet

            Friends , I need suggestions for Rear Tyre of my bullet electra. Currently i am using Dunlop tyre with specifications 3.25 -19 i.e. stock . I am not very happy with this tyre.

            Please suggest me on following :

            1. Can I use 3.50-19 rating tyre , what are my options ?
            2. Should I continue with 3.25 -19 , what are my options here.

And pilot sporty offers very very gud grip in dry roads, corners very well, u dont have to lean the bike forcibly, the moment you turn the handle, the bike will start leaning by itself... Straightline braking is super awesum, no fishtailing, no skidding..., the tyres will lock but still maintain a line and the best part is you can feel the tire...like how much grip its giving, how much more you can lean, how much and at what angle the tire is skidding when u brake hard. Its very communicative... Trust me this tire saved my life so many times... Bt bro beware of sand and gravel....its looses its grip there... Wet grip is also good.... The tire will give very good grip in heavy rain and wet roads, bt when the roads start drying, the roads become muddy and thats when the tire looses some grip... My tire is around 8k kms old, have lost a bit on the lean angles bt the braking is still awesum.... When you lock the brakes, you wont even hear the tire screeching....no sound at all.... I could pop wheelies in the rain when the tire was new. Its a very gud tire. M very much satisfied...
              k now finally decided on pilot sporty after readin this....btw just visited a mrf agency yestrday and the options available were

              1.Mrf zapper c 100-90-17 and 120-80-17
              2.Mrf zapper q 100-90-17 and 120-80-17
              3.Mrf zapper vyde 120-80-17 and 140-70-17
              4.Mrf zapper S 100/80-17


              prices of mrf a bit high..but still the tyres were superb in looks but my choice still remains michelin pilot sporty 100-90-17 i think its VFM

                MRF zapper c 100x90x17
                believe me change the second option to mrf zapper q 100-90-17 its much more better in terms of looks and grip( sayin this after testing both)

                    Thanks UTKARSH for prompt response .
                    I feel 19" options are getting limited day by day . On the other side classic bullets with 18" have lot of options .

                    Can't we get AVON roadrider somewhere in NCR ? I have found very good review from people on youtube.

                    On the lighter side : Gurgaon Roads are not less than LEH roads. I enjoy offroading daily

                    • Tyre Life for ZMR

                      Hi All,

                      Any measure or methodology to understand the condition of Tyres?

                      Have done around 18500 kms till date on my ZMR.

                      9500 kms initially in front stock and rear MRF Zapper Q
                      Changed to Michelin M-62 Front & Michelin M-45 Rear.
                      Using both as Tube Type.

                      Planning to change and make it tubeless.

                      What are the options and recommendations now?
                      34567 kms and ZMR sold :(

                        Very nice guide is here : Michelin India - When to Change Your Car, Van or SUV Tyres? - www.michelin.in

                        Most of the tyres come with this mark.
                        Also search on youtube : "When to change motorcyle tyre"

                          Bro frankly speaking i have never heard of Avon roadrider but yes if u want any thing regarding bikes u will surely get all of it at Karolbagh. And yes 18 inchers have many options as there are many bike's runin on them.

                          I have lived near gurgaon for 3 years... my school was in sector 45 (DPS).|
                          Father was posted in the NSG so had to travel 30 kms daily from manesar to sec-45..Nd i completely agree with ur offroading part. The onlt place to push the bike to its limit is the mighty NH8 ( after the toll plaza) just awsome...

                            I forgot to mention, AVON tyres are used on export models of Bullets. I thought they might be available here but it seems a foreign brand and not available in local market.
