    Hi Everybody,

    i am planning to change the tyre of my rear wheel form MRF Meteor to MRF Zapper Q.
    Please let me know should i change tyres for both the wheels (Front and Rear) at a one time or should i change only rear wheel tyre since front wheels tyre seems to be fine ?
    i want to know this because after changing my rear wheel tyre i should not feel wobbliness after after some months since it might be the time to change the front wheel tyre as well

    Please help me out as soon as possible since i am planning to change the tyres tomorrow itself ?
    You can go with zapper Q or Vyde.. Vyde wears a bit more faster than Q. Its a general rule of thumb that when ever you change tyres, you should change it for all the wheels.
    Regardless, Life shall go on.

          Hi I own a pulsar 200 NS, and I'm not very satisfied with stock eurogrip tyres, they have a tendency to skid. I want to replace both the tyres. Please suggest your opinion.
          Thank you

            Advice is a form of nostalgia.
            Dispensing it is a way of fishing the past from the disposal, wiping it off, painting over the ugly parts and recycling it for more than it's worth.

                Guys,

                My 200 NS stock tires are 130/70 R17 ,and 100/80 R17. I am planning to Change them into some thing gripp-ier.

                My Question is what problems I am going to face if I am using a 140/70 tire for the back.. or is it OK, I do love the meatier tires.. ??

                I am OK with a slight mileage drop if it can give more confidence while riding.

                    They are yet to make a tire that suits all these, there are trade off's for every thing mate, you can't have it all. Think what you want more, according to your useage and then get the appropriate one...

                      Think what's left mate !

                      All those conditions are different and so is the reason we have different types of tyres.

                      A tyre with good grip means Soft Compound = Vulnerable to Punctures = Fast tear off means Less Life.

                      And tyre that scare you & you think less grip = hard compound = Less Puncture than Soft compound but that doesn't means no Puncture = some more thousands of Kilometer than Soft !

                      Tyre for Dust = Offroad
                      Offroad = big grip = looks ugly = ba for normal road

                      So think which condition in which you ride the most, and get according to it as said by @krish2778.

                            What would be the Tyre Size ? Calicut where to get I am not sure Sorry, Any MRF authorized dealers should have stock.

                            If you are searching in Bangalore , let us know we can find it.

                            I changed my P200Ns to contigo from continental I like the grip of it.
                            There is michelin pilot sporty as well ( not sure of wet-grip ).

                              For details from calicut, Ivin is the guy you must talk to. He has a R15 v2.0, so he might be knowing where to source the tires..
                              Do update here about how good the r15 tire performs on the 220, i too am thinking of getting it for my next upgrade.
