  • ^ stunner got 17 inch wheels, dude. Try zapper Q, getting a good review from a friend. He says its a medium compound. And for zapper C, 100/90 is harder compound then 120/90.

          Look out for Pirelli/IRC at that size

            Suggest me fast, Michellin Sirac Street or MRF Zapper FS for my Unicorn Front wheel. . ? Which is the best or any (PLEASE MENTION). . ? I need it for cornering, rarely off road and should have nice grip. . .

            Thanks in advance. . .
            Go for Sirac Street

              Stay away from irc. Poor grip , poor life. Exactly the 2 things you don't want. It's not even the proper tradeoff.

                • Some suggests irc, others say don't go for it. Some suggests pirelli's some says they are bad after 5000 kms. I think i'll get mrf back again

                    Mate these comments are basedon user reviews, theymay differ it is you who must ask around in mltiple places or people and find out what suits best. Else you have to just go out there and experiment or finally just go with stock.

                    @midnigh : sorry mate, don't know the cost of it.

                        As much as I know, nitrogen is very good for the tires, don't know exactly if it's for streets, but of course would be good and for tracks I think that's what they use it. . . The pros are that it does not allow the air to pass out very easily (mean to say it's not like normal air which you get in local fuel station wherein you need to keep checking it often every week or so), it causes a very cooling effect inside the tube (as I learned so) and also if you are going on a long tour, the best recommended is nitrogen as compared with a normal air, it does not heat your tires if you go on a long run. . . Cons I really don't know about that. . . Hope this information helps. . .

                        Cheers!!!

                        • You are 100% correct in this part. But experimenting with tyres when you are still in the school is not a good idea
                          Peace

                              People claim 90/80 tyre is much better...which tire is best suited to my bike?

                              front 80/100 17inch.
                              rear 110/80 17inch

                              • Go for V1 front tyre. V2's tyre is wider and heavy and would cause the front to become heavy.
