      If it was my bike I would get the ceat secura zoom 2.75/18 in the front and the ceat ceat vertigo 3/18 in the rear. Both tube types....
      Finally the day arrived for the change after 6 months !!!

      Front : Ceat Secura Zoom 2.75/18" + Tube inclusive
      Rear : Ceat Secura Sport 3.00/18" + Tube inclusive

      Got them both with tubes for ₹ 3,200/- & another ₹ 120/- for replacing old ones at nearest mechanic.

        For rear, Michelin Pilot Sporty or Ceat Zoom XL?

        And is the Duke front tyre good for the NS?

        Covered some 5000km ,Michelin had 3 punctures since its soft compound, none for ceat zoom xl

          Thanks bro. I checked on some website and for Dunlop Arrowmax it got 4 star rating even on wet condition,high speed etc and i got good price on it so. How is Ceat doing on rear in wet condition,corner grip,time takes to heat up, high speed performance and highway performance. Thanks

            I had a horrendous time during rainy season in Chennai. My stock MRF tires on my CL500 slipped a lot without any grip on the road. Which would be the better option for all season. But One thing to consider is I am not finding much options for my 19" front(90/90) and 18"rear (120/70).

                90/90 I can understand but you're finding no option for 120/70? :O

                Go one size bigger for front i.e 100/90. It should be available in mrf itself. Try Pirelli for rear or both wheels. Conti gt comes with it so the front should match I think. Correct me if I'm wrong.

                  Doesn't GT have 18 inchers at both F and R? I'm not sure.

                    I'm no bullet expert bro (uce version. I know the old ones pretty well) so I just assumed since the front of Conti looks bigger than cl500. Maybe its the alloy rims and wider tyres.

                      I am taking my CL500 for service next week, will ask for a option there. Still the threads are good on the tires. Just done 12K...wondering should I change or wait for some more time...but I ll give a shot

                        Dear Friends,

                        I own a 2010 model Karizma ZMR.. My stock MRF tyres had clocked around 37,000 kms.
                        I'm planning to change them at the earliest.

                        The tyres I have been using are:
                        Front: MRF Zapper FS (80/100 x 18 - 47 P)
                        Back: MRF Zapper Y (100/90 x 18 - 56 P)

                        Kindly suggest me tyres that have good road grip in both dry & wet conditions.
                        I drive my bike around 70-75% in city roads.
                        Faster, faster, faster, until the thrill of speed overcomes the fear of death ~ Hunter Thompson.

                          Try zapper q . or Michelin. I m using zapper q for 3k kilometres and till now no issues in dry or wet. Also it has the best tread pattern in the price range. Its a mid compound tyre. Hard on the middle and soft on sides I guess. But a warning, you'll feel as if bike is tilting sideways cause its a bit round profile, felt it on my pulsar 150. But best for dry and wet . do seek others suggestion also

                              I don't know if it has been asked before, it might be but anyways.

                              In general what is better, a low profile tyre or a relatively high profile one?

                              Which is better, a bigger wheel or comparatively smaller one?

                              A fatter tyre or a relatively less fatter one?

                              Let's pick a reference bike and answer this query. Let's pick say my bike RE Classic350.
