    Hello friends...
    I am planning to change both the tyres of my Yamaha SZ-R. I am looking for all terrain tyres with good wet grip if not best because I am planning a long distance ride from delhi to srinagar, aru valley, betabh valley, leh ladhakh(leh ladkakh is not final because it will depend on number of leaves I'll be able to get from my job). Another reason I want to change tyres is because I feel nervous at times on wet roads during monsoon with stock tvs tyres. Please suggest me some good options. Also let me know if ceat vertigo sports or mrf mogrip(meteor or moto D) can solve my purpose or not.

    My rear tyre size is 100/90 x 17 and 2.75 x 17 for front.
    If you are looking for decent all rounders for the terrains you've mentioned, then look no ahead of CEAT Vertigo Sports for rear and Ceat Sports for front. It will be a little bumpy though. Both are available as tubeless as well as tube types.

            Vetigo is tried and tested by Tour De Himalaya participents since its launch so you will not really go wrong with it. Its a good tyre, but do refrain from hard braking or you will get fishtailing with any of those. MRF Meteor and MOGRIP tyres on the other hand are super hard compounds, they tend to rip through dirt. They are very hard compounds indeed. They take time to get heated up. Both are good tyres, you will not go wrong with any of them, where as the CEAT's would be a bit cheaper.

              I am not at all concerned about cost. I want the best thing as I dont want any kinda problem or puncture during my ride.
              Is michelin offering anything similar...???

                Brother, problems and punctures can pretty well happen with the might Metzeler too, that too on the race track. Unfortunately you have to live with it. You can add more reliability to these by putting in slime/puncture sealant in the the inner surface of tyres and/or inside the tube. I think Michelin has something called SIRAC STREET, but that is usually Tube Type. It has also got good reviews. For your kind of needs I would've chosen CEAT personally. AS the ridiculously high pricing of Michelin just doesn't do justice. Also, they are pretty hard to find.

                Why not Zapper again? If he hasn't faced any problems just go for the same one. You can also check online for the tyres which are unavailable. FC would possibly be available with few online stores.

                        Michelin rear one is to be expected in range of 2100 ~ 2800 and front one is to be expected around 1500 ~ 2200.

                        Zapper FC is anyday a better choice than the hard compound of the Conti - GO. Please check the link, its available through request online.

                              Hi! I have caught the offroading bug and now I am looking for a set of dual purpose tyres for my RTR190. I have zeroed down on the Ceat Vertigo Sports tyres but I am confused as to go for the tube or tubeless. I will be running on the stock alloy rims. I know tube will be better in case of bent rim incidents but I'm somehow inclined to Tubeless tyres. Please guide me. Thank you.

                                Vertigo is a hard compound tyre not so usable ,don't get fooled by its thread pattern
