    if im unable to find another rear dual purpose tubeless tyre (other than vertigo), i might end up buying sirac again.

    If you consider softer compounds, you can switch to Dunlop Tuff Grip or the Dunlop Monster if available.

    Once upon a time, a guy asked a girl 'Will you marry me?'
    The girl said, 'NO!'


    And the guy lived happily ever after and rode motorcycles and watched sport on a big screen TV, went fishing and surfing, and played golf a lot, and drank beer and scotch and had tons of money in the bank and left the toilet seat up and farted whenever he wanted.

          How is MRF Zapper FQ for front?? because of stock MRF tyres, I lost my faith in MRF moreover I heard that keeping same tyre pattern will making braking better specially in panic situations, so why not same tyre pattern on both wheels??

            It can be used as TT or TL if it's the right alloy. They are tubeless for the most part.

              Btw guyz are the ALL-Terrain tires not that good when it comes to cornering??
              I have heard that it doesnt give good confidence like those of street tires in terms of cornering.
              Im not talking about hard core cornering where you rub your knee guards.

                No they are not really that bad at corners, its just that, they tend to loose the line while hard cornering... They perform good on routine basis. But they do take more time to get heated up for a spirited riding experience... Please, if possible, please mention the products about which you are looking for inputs, so that specific users using those can contribute to it.

                  since zapper FQ is a new tyre, i cant comment on its performance as there are no reviews of it yet. Z FQ is hard to find in here so i think ill go with the dunlop monster 80/100 18 which is available. frankly speaking i had never faced any issue in the front stock tyre so i was willing to go with zapper FQ. if the performance is as same as stock one ill be fine, though it looks more of medium compound tyre but yet to get a review.
                  dunlop monster 80/100 18 also looks medium compound and below is the pic of its grooves.

                  btw the price of tyres are:
                  dunlop monster 80/100-18 TL - 1200 inr
                  michelin sirac street 100/90-18 TT - 1850 inr
                  installation - 100 inr

                    That's not true, all terrain tires tend to be on the bumpy side with the protruding treads which is completely normal. Almost any tire with a round profile can take corners very well. The dilemma is if it's a harder compound the chances of skidding are high whether you're cornering or not, whereas a softer compound will aid in cornering by gripping the road comparatively better than hard compound.

                    But softer/semi-softer compounds wear comparatively faster than a hard compound.

                        Go and get the tube heat treated and the nail must have punctured both sides of tube in a diagonal manner, so there must be two punctures. You will be good to go if you change the tube alone. No need to go for a new tyre. You can search for the tyre on changemytyre.com.
