Re: Tyres

As Divya Sharan sir has cleared the odometer term to you, how many kms have you covered with these tyres plus are these stock tyres, i mean which came with the vehicle or you have changed them in between, all of the tyres have got shelf life, that's whether you use them or not tyres will pass there best once that shelf life is over,shelf life is somewhat 3 to 4 yrs depending on the manufacuter, i think your bike tyres has gone hard and hence they have cracked as i said earlier get your tyres checked from inside, take your bike to a tyre shoppe or puncturewala get it removed from the rim and check it thoroughly,if you found something more serious from inside change them ASAP.maintain air pressure, may be 1or2psi more.If you want more information regarding tyres contact to divyanshp on this site he will guide you properly, as bro is genius in tyre understanding and knowledge.

Re: Tyres

If you are not getting 90/90 tyre, i think you can also go for 3.25x19 tyre(3.25 is 82.55mm and 90 mm is 3.54 inches) so if you choose 3.25 tyre the width will be slightly less then your current 90/90 tyre but you have quite a few options in this measurement,motorcycle tyres have got expiry date although there is no official regulation for the companies on this matter and there is no specific law for selling old and outdated tyres to the consumer, motorcycle tyres are made from natural rubber, as it gives good grip, and rubber tends to deteriorate over the period of time, and when the atmosphere changes from hot to cold and cold to hot the rubber of the tyre gets stretch and contract during this process,yes it does affect the life of tyres, so you should be very easy on the tire once you get it fitted on your bike as is with your case the tyres are just 16000kms old and they are cracking, may be because of your spirited riding, like jumping your bike from small heights, have you ever seen motorcycle time trial sport just look at the air they are having in there tyres, 6 months old tyres are fine, but still try to get as fresh as you can, just be gentle on new tyres give them time to seat the tyre properly on the rim, regarding time frame of buying tyres you can buy tyres either in september october or in april.

Re: Tyres

Hey brother, as far as the pics show its not very deep and so no worries but try to claim defect and ask for a replacement, if you get one awsome otherwise also your fine.....

Re: Tyres

It's very difficult to get replacement, how old is your tyre, looks like manufacturing defect, give it a try take it to the dealer and show him the tyre and then see what he says, you can also write to company back office with the snap of tyre.

Re: Tyres

Sidewall tears are very dangerous. It's not "NO worries". [MENTION=67327]tej1[/MENTION], companies offer warranties on their tyres, you should get in touch with the company and have it changed ASAP.

And guys, the kind of comments I've been seeing lately is amazing. Someone putting acetone, alcohol and WD40 on their tyre to 'soften' it. Another cutting treads for more grip. What is this forum coming to?

Re: Tyres

Politness my friend is very very important
And my brother please note unless one experiments how can he understand? The wd40 and acetone is used by dragsters too and even by a few offroad teams since they are provided with only a handful of tyres for an event and so its something thay have to do on spot if required, if the tyre can handle that pressure and punishment ours should too, I just did to understand it. it was done with a spare tyre. And it was clearly mentioned not to attempt to do this. It was something that I wanted to share,
The cutting treads was posted by another member and he was made to understand the cons.he understood too. People are here to learn only.

Also mate the tyre has many layers and this is superficial crack. It is in no way going to blow up and cause a huge accident I will guarantee this for that member also he has been adviced to seek a replacement but claiming warranty is not so easy na:P best would be to change the tyre and tube after every puncture but not everyone can do that.
I hope you understand that we all want this forum to be the best it can, but controlling what people talk or share is wrong (unless its OT)
Im not here to pick fights and I am very sad I am posting this.
To keep the thread clean I will not comment on this particular topic.
You may.
Cheers!

Re: Tyres


Tyres sometimes do get crack or develop cracks over the course of there journey, it dosen't necessarily means that they are gonna burst, moreover the member was advised to get the tyre checked thoroughly from inside and if he finds something serious than he must change the tyre instantly, most of the experienced members on this forum give brilliant advice and in no way they want to hurt anybody, moreover if a member is experimenting something its our duty to encourage him be it the softening of tyre or cutting treads on new tyres(although this man is not the member of this forum and shouldn't have been discussed by me) but with it also alert him so that he must not hurt himself, becaue he is our buddy our brother. And if somebody is able to experiment on some things then God has delievered him with this special ability of getting into the unknown and we should encourage him but with Caution.

Re: Tyres

Yes you can. Going by the tyre groove depth, looks like it has not run much and a clear case of Manufacturing defect. So they shouldn't have anything to say in their defense. Would request you "NOT" to use this tyre, with or without tube from safety aspect. Claiming warranty is not such difficult a thing as it used to be earlier.

Reply in bold.

Re: Tyres


Can someone not be polite with logic?
Claiming warranty on tyre is easy! Then my friend please help the guy out. Claiming warranty anywhere be it your engine or your tyre is not easy. Period.
You can pity me all you want:P
Also please read what I have written regards tothe puncture statement then quote
Also a request,
Please do not use forums for personal statements , fights etc, you can say I am wrong but without any personal attacks etc, we are all here to learn and please keep the threads clean, I will try not to reply on this issue/fight.
If you further wish to fight/argue please pm me.

Re: Tyres

Let me get This very straight.
-I am not here to pick up fights with anybody related/Not related with the forum. Neither do I have time and patience for texting members to encourage them to be a Keyboard warrior.
-I would definitely help the guy out if he is located in/Around Bangalore. Have done it in the past and will do it in future too, if the problem is Genuine.
-Yes the forum is a platform for exchange of information, but if the information share is against the safety of the member(Self/vehicle) , then im sorry, can't buy that. So I questioned with no intentions of making personal "fight" as you are terming.
-And regarding warranty claim , you can claim warranty if the cause is genuine, its no big deal off late . Have claimed for the MRF Zapper FS Tyre personally(IIRC was updated on the thread too), hence said so. Also two weeks back claimed warranty for a Car Tyre because of Tyre burst, almost 1000 kms away from home . It was updated on the forum too. So I could co relate that incident to what it would have been like had it been on a two wheeler. Hence from the safety aspect, told him not to use it.


So Mods, if you feel there was any personal remarks eligible to foster hatred, then please go ahead and delete.

Re: Tyres

I am currently restoring my rxz and I would like to know what are the best tyres that I could go for. I like to go for 2.75x18 and 3x18 for the rear. I am a city rider who does 50 to 70 speed all the time .

I am thinking of Michelin m 62 gazelle at the front and Michelin m45 As they are suggested by a friend. Are they good ? If not what are the best tyres I could go for ?

Re: Tyres

Your friend is right
Those are the best tyres I ever used a long time ago.
But brother those tyres are impossible to find and I think m45 was 3.5 not your stock size.
Try these
Front- mrf zapper fs 2.75/18
Ceat secura zoom 2.75 / 18

Rear:- michelin sirac street 100/18(2100rs)
Ceat gripp 3/18(1700rs)
Ceat vertigo 3/18 (2000rs)
you cant go wrong with any of these hope it helps
(Front is about 1450 to 1600 rs)
Prices are kolkata indicated and tube type tyres inclusive of tubes and fitting charges
Easiest tyres to find. All will be readily available. The tubeless vertigo is out of stock everywhere

Re: Tyres

Do they go with RX-135 as well? I've to suggest some to my friend. Both of his RX-135's tyres are baldie; he has been a frequent visitor to puncture shop. He's busy in personal matters.
