But once a tuff up is damaged or it's done its work, replacing it the earliest will help you in avoiding unplanned emergencies.
      They all use Zapper - Y or FS if I'm not wrong, however, my requirement is FV.


      Sri, if you're contemplating the MRF Zapper FV why not consider the R15 FY1 or FY tyres, they are super grip dry and wet.
      If I'm not wrong ZMA runs on 18" rim and R15 comes with 17", so it might not be compatible.

      And Thanks for those dealer information.

        Check your motorcycle swingarm for tire pressure info. Usually it's F 28 and R 28 if you're solo and F 28 and R 32 with pillion, but depending on the load you add to bike you can adjust accordingly this is for the stock tire. If you have any other brand, check the sidewall for min and max inflation pressure, try to find a ballpark and use the right PSI. It hardly takes 10 mins.

        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.


        THE END

          Your chances are really slim, as most MRF stores in my city hasn't seen the tyre since some good old years. I've even paid a visit to distributor, he also said that he has not seen this tyre since 2 long years... May be if you could elaborate on your usage scenario then we could help a bit better.

              Re: Tyres

              Could somebody suggest some good tires for P200NS? I need good grip in both dry and wet but not soft compound as I have to ride on some bad roads. I'd prefer a tire with 60 aspect ratio due to the decreased height, so far I've found MRF REVZ 140/60 only. I could go for 130/70 too but I'd prefer a 130/60 if that is available. Also what's the difference between REVZ and REVZ-S apart from the size?

              Sould I replace both rear and front or only the rear on the P200NS?
              I am back!

                    Just 7 hrs back I posted a message on Fz thread regarding the options we should consider. Plz go through it. Do a similar assessment for your vehicle.

                      Re: Tyres

                      I've already calculated the height, but the problem is there is not much options of 60 aspect ratio tires in the market.

                      BTW could you comment on the grip of REVZ? I rode a Duke for like 2 kilometers but could not make out the grip as it was bone dry when I rode and the guy who owned the Duke crashed on a wet day a week ago and is claiming the tires slipped under braking, this really makes me lose my confidence on the REVZ.

                        Why are you stuck at 60 aspect ratio?

                        If you have a 140/60 tyre 60 is nothing but 60% of 140. In case of 140/70 it is 70% of 140. The height of sidewall changes. Height of sidewall in 120/70 is equal to 140/60.

                        What is the bike and stock tyre size you have?

                          Re: Tyres

                          I know, I want to decrease the height of P200NS. The stock is 130/70 which translates to 91 mm of height, that is why I want to change those damn EUROGRIPS. 140/60 will make it 84 mm but I was looking at 130/60. I do not really want to downsize or upsize but if I could not find anything else, I'll be forced to buy 140/60 FZ tire. I heard REVZ is puncture prone, could you comment on it?

                            Take 120/70 Pirelli SD - it will give 84 height. Cost is 4K. search tyres on wheels.com Even 140/60 MRF is good. I just today got my third puncture repaired in 16 K kms. The dry grip is nice, but small pebbles or sandy roads makes the bike unstable. In these conditions Pirelli 120/70 would prove awesome. I dont remember any wet grip issue with 140/60 MRFs either..
                            I would take pirelli 120/70 any given day in comparison to mrf 140/60, but I want to increase height a little for fazer hence contemplating 130/70 in the next change.

                              REVZ is the common term for almost all radials that are offered by MRF, and Revz S is the tyre that goes to the derriere of the R15. Unless you want a radial you can consider other ranges out there, like the Pirelli SD 130/70 which are even used in 220. The 200 NS is already a taller bike for most of the folks out there, who tippy toe, and if you want something better why not consider the MRF Zapper FS for the rear, decent grip, and works for off-road too.

                              Again REVZ and Pirelli both being soft compound, it doesn't mean one is puncture resistant than the other. Softer compounds do tend to get whacked up pretty soon.

                              Also, I've heard from many PSD users in 220 that the grips levels are nothing good post 6k to 7k KMS, food for thought.

                                I do not intend to downsize the tire as it may compromise in handling. Also no shop here heard about PSD tires. MRF dealer in a nearby district said they need a month to source 140/60 tire as there are strikes in MRF factory, not sure if they are telling me the truth.
                                [MENTION=39214]B7ACKTHORN[/MENTION] Revz S is 130/70 AFAIK, it will not decrease the height. About MRF Zapper FS, no dealer here has it in stock in fact they don't know that it even exists. One told me it exists only in 18 inch and it is tubed. More info on the tire would be nice.

                                Is Nylogrip Zapper and Zapper same?
