BTW stick with your stock tires. They are best you can get. Why change it when you already have the best?

Now if you want to add more adventure (skidding, fish-tailing to name a few) to your rides, you can go with complete TVS tires both front & back (if u know what I mean [emoji14])...
BTW riding in those crappy tires will make u a better rider bcos you will experience all those bad heart in mouth situations and also will learn (probably the tougher way) on how to do proper braking. Frankly speaking I have run on stock TVS tires for 40k odo and yes Im a spirited rider at times..But then I have dealed to learn the drawback of my tires were margin of error is too less/negligible. Currently Im running on Zapper FY1 at front & MRF-Meteor at rear. This setup has made things more easy to ride.

BTW how did u manage 40k in TVS. at 30k MRF revz s turned into this condition. We spode to change tyre near 15k to get optimum performance

Sheer determination dude..

Well the fact that everyone complains about TVS tires made me feel that I need to prove them that they are not completely right when it comes to writing off this tire. Yes its crap when compared against the best, but still its not that Im always on a skating board. Its fine in dry conditions. Bad in wet (some would say horrible, but thats bcos they dont know how to deal with a hard compound tire in wet conditions) & okay-okay in gravels. Its strong against punctures and even at 41k it was going strong and i believe it can run easily another 5k~8k in it. But still I wanted to try some new soles. There are some people like me who have been using TVS tires for long periods. Yes I had my scary movements, but I can assure you that I became better rider by riding these.

Thats horrible. I believe you have been running too much with deflated tire pressure levels. That might be one of the reason for this uniform shaped crack.

I'm running on MRF meteor. Its doing its job pretty well. If you are not into too much of off-roading, then you can opt for Zapper Vyde. They are awesome when it comes to grip, but the life is not that long. Probably less than 20k kms, while meteor will run for atleast 30k-35k.
Incase of front tires, I think you can go for Zapper FS. The best ones are Zapper FY/FY1, but AFAIK they dont come in 18" inch.
