      Try the 100 section Michelin then.....there isnt much choice in that size unfortunately.......if you still wanna go for 90 section fy1....then its the best front tyre but yet downsized according to your bike.....

                Many people are using it on ns rim......but the tyre isnt a great grippy thing to talk of

                  Need current cost of MRF Zapper C 110/80 17(rear,dazzlers rear tyre) for RTR 180.Searched many places,price varying from 1500 to 2500.
                  Also for front 90/90 x 17" (Tubeless) which is better zapper fs vs zapper fy(r15 v1 front tyre)?
                  Also share the current prices too!

                    Zapper fs cant be compared to zapper fy......zapper fy is far too better......but I would suggest you not to downsize as zapper fy is 80/90-17 and go for zapper fy1......which is 90/80-17
                    Cost of zapper c 110 dazzler rear at my place is 2450.....and for fake dummy its 1700.......
                    FY1 costs INR1700
                    FY costs INR1600
                    FS costs INR1400

                        Decided to go for zapper fy1 for front.
                        For rear sadly zapper c (dazzler rear is not available anymore,even honda showrooms are using TVS tyres).
                        So is there any good tyre of stock size 110/80/70 ?

                          Cheers for the FY1 bro thats one hell of grippy tyre......
                          For rear there is no other good tyre in that size.....i think you should upsize now.......
                          Am using zapper vyde 120/80-17 rear now on my p150 which an rtr180 friend was using too without mods....and contigo 140/70-17 on p220....just small shave mod for chainguard (plastic shaving ofcourse)

                          More info....see zapper vyde rear cost me 2700 and its just a great grippy thing so dont expect life more than 15-18k....and its got better grip than a tvs tyre even after its bald.....and that would lovely compliment the fy1 front you will start loving wet corners !!

                          Hope I helped you!!

                              That should be 100/90-18 in my opinion.......anyways whatever that be......zapper c and vyde are in 120 section tubeless.......and they both have better compound than their 100section counterparts except the zapper vyde.......hope it helped......and I didnt find Q so cheap here.....its 110/80-18 retails at 2300...and its TT not TL
