    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 ).

      Contigo I had paid 2500 in Bangalore. Its softer compound , so should stick well.
      Cornering I won't be the correct person to explain as I am no corner freak buddy but it do stick to the line very well whenever I have tried.
      Breaking is quite an improvement from my older tire.
      I changed to it recently , post a query in the CBR 250R thread they might be able to give a better response as this one comes default with CBR.

          Yeah Buddy, Its a bit on the higher side. Infact I went looking for pirelli Sport Demon for the Front[Was out of stock] and Back , Didn't want to go for MRF and I liked the thread pattern of the Conti..

          Compared to Pirelli cost is substantially lower.

                This is the new Pilot Sporty, which comes as Tubeless unlike the old tube-type Sporty.

                    • Hi all,
                      Was looking for a best upgrade option for rear tyre for my GS150r . I was looking for a good grip,not too much increase in height and a direct fit(no mods needed for swing arm or chain cover). Stock size is 100/90 -18 .I did visit a nearby MRF store and was intrigued by the 120/80 MRF zapper Q. Whats your view on this one?

                      Comment


                      • Guys, what are the tubeless options available in 110/80-18 or 110/70-18?

                        • Hello Veterans,

                          Please advise

                          Got my NS delivered this friday. I want to change the rear tyre which I've read is inadequate. I want to go for a tyre that

                          1) provides good grip (wet and dry )
                          2) Is not too puncture prone ( i may be wrong, but i've heard many tyres with good grip are puncture prone too )
                          3) does not fiddle with my FE too much
                          4) doesn't take away the flick-ability of the bike

                          Longevity is not an issue. Price not an issue.

                          Thanks a ton in advance.
