Tyre Suggestions for Pulsar 220 DTSi

Hi Guys,

first thread in here.

I have been looking for information all over, but somehow not getting the answer which I am looking for. So, thought of asking it here.

I have a 15 months / 40K KMs old Pulsar 220 DTSi. I would like to change its Tyre, as I am not feeling very confident riding it with those Tyres plus I guess there are several punctures in them as well.

Bike initially came with factory fitted normal/IRC model which I got replaced with MRF Zapper after 20K KMs this year.

Both Tyres went fine for around 16-17K KM and after that started feeling little uncontrolled. I am not sure about the typical life cycle of a Tyre, so not sure how long it should go.

Anyway, need to get the Tyres replaced. Both front and the rear one.

The Tyre specifications are:

Front: 90/90-17
Rear: 120/80-17

I guess the type of Tyres are also a deciding factor in mileage of a vehicle. But I am not looking for Mileage. I am quite happy with the current mileage that my bike gives. What I am looking for is the stability. It should give me a sense of confidence, that under most circumstances the tyres will not leave my side.

Any suggestions??? Like brand, models, etc etc... Any possibility of widening the tyres and not loosing on the performance/mileage marks???

Thanks in advance.
Abhinav.

Thread approved and merged

now that's embarrassing. I did try to search. :P sorry mods... Will go through this thread first thing tomorrow.

if you are looking for stock specification replacements
check out these MRF's which i have used earlier in my p220

120/80-17 Zapper - c ( has Good Braking ) which lasts pretty long

120/80-17 Zapper vyde ( good cornering ) this has little lower life than Zapper c

for the front Zapper fs 90/90-17

you can also try the 80/90-17 Zapper fy the R15 stock front !

First of all dont upsize or downsize the tyres (it leads to unexpecteded results in terms of performance and mileage)

Normal life of a mrf zapper c is 20k kms ir ridden sanely, mine got half finished after riding 6000 kms insanely.

The best tyre options for u are

1.MRF ZAPPER VYDE 120/80-17
2.Pirelli sport demons 130/80-17 (superb grip but will be a little upsize but wont drop ur performance)
3.Michellin pilot Sporty 120/80-17
4.MRF ZAPPER C 120/80-17 (Good wet braking)

Changed my Pulsar's tire last evening.
Installed the Zapper 120/80/17 Rear Cost- Rs 2,600
The old one had clocked 35,561kms.. Did a fabulous job...
Happy with MRF performance.

shocked its nt available in kolkata... Dealers haven't even heard of it....

guys my tyre has developed a lot of cracks all along the right side ( only ) ... 19600 on the ODO ... , attaching pics ... it's not of one crack but all different ones occuring one after another in sequence with the tread pattern ...

Changed rear tyre

Finally got Pilot sporty for my twister
Grip really good
Thanx for all my Xbhp friends

Looking nice. How much does it cost you?

Costs Rs2100. 150rs increased

Hello Friends,

I have a Bullet Electra 5S 2008 Model, would like to change the Tyre to a bit bigger than the stock ones (3.25/90) .., Can some one suggest me, which is the maximum biggest fit without any modifications to the Bike ?

Thank You in Advance

Hi guys,

I have a May 2011 CBR 250R. The stock Conti tyres are really scary on almost any surface other than dry, hot and smooth. Any idea if there are better options available, Indian or imports?

Thanks in advance
