    Although I have no idea about Duke's profile but yes 140/70 can be used, try getting the answer from someone from duke ownership thread

    • Tyre suggestion for Karizma ZMA

      Hi All,

      Planning to change my ZMA rear Tyre and after some Search and going through various threads i am settling down for Michelin Sirac Street. I am not sure if this is available in tubeless version or not.

      Looking forward for your valuable suggestion for the above mentioned choice or is there any other better option.

      My ZMA is over 25k and currently running on same company provides Tyre, as of now i am planning to change the rear one but the front one is also near to end (can drag up to 1-2K max), so how good to change them one at a time or is it good to change both at same time (for better handling /performance perspective)

            try michelin sirac 120/90 x 17... It may sound 120 but its huge.... It will serve your purpose the best...

            • Karizma Rear Tire

              Hi Umesh,

              Michelin Sirac is available only in tube type. You can try out Pirelli SPORT DEMON, its available in 110/90, 110/80, 120/80 for the 18 inch rear. Its tube less.

              • Tyres for my Yamaha SZR

                Hi all,

                i have a Yamaha SZR bike from past 1 yr. all this while the bike was great. but as you know monsoon has come to Bangalore and when you have the TVS stock tyres fitted in your bike, it can prove to be disastrous.
                Last year during the monsoon i had met with the accident and the memories of it still haunts me.

                therefore i have decided to change both the tyres for my bike even though it had only run 4k KMS . i have gone through all the threads over the internet but its like the more you go through it the more you will be confused.

                now after have a genuine and dedicated forum like this i hope i will get a proper solution to my queries.

                My Front & Back trye Specifications are

                Front Tyre--- 2.75- 17 41P
                Rear Tyre----100/90-17 55P

                is there any possibility that the rear can be fitted with 110/90 - 17 tyre.
                will it be too wide for my bike and do i have to make any modifications for it. (strictly i dont want any modifications to my bike and i like the the way it is.)
                i dont want any changes to the size of the front tyre.

                Please tell me the best place in Bangalore to get the tyres.

                therefore i want all your help in this.

                please advice me the best tyre in the above mentioned sizes which would give me best grip in both DRY and WET conditions. total Budget 5 k for both is fine for me.

                *****is it going to affect the fuel efficiency if i go for any other tyres than the stock ones(Cheap Quality waste TVS tyres )*****

                      Use MRF zapper FS for front & Zapper C for rear. They are the best IMO. You can try michelin too. They have soft compund tyres which provide very good grip to the tarmac. But soft compound tyres usually wear out faster. If you can tell were you live in bangalore then maybe i can help you with the place to get the tyres.

                      • I need to change the tyres on my 1987 RX100, they are relatively new due to low use but have become brittle, they are about 10 years old.

                        Could you please chip in with your suggestions - I need opinions on 2.75x18 front and 3.00x18 rear tyres please.

                        From what I know, I shall choose from the following options:

                        Michelin M45 front and rear

                        OR

                        MRF Zapper FS front and Zapper Q or C for the rear.

                        What do you think?

                                what type of tire do you want....? Soft compounds will do? Then try yamaha r15 v1 front and rear... Front is zapper fy 80/90 x 17, rear 100/80 x 17.... You wont regret... Front will cost around 1.8k, rear 2k... Hope this helps
