              I need 120 and 160 dual sport 17 inch tyres. What are my choices? Vee rubber Delhi is non responsive though they stock these tyre sizes internationally. They would probably be my first choice.

              This is for a versys 650.

                • R15 V1 - Front Tyre

                  Hello xBhpians

                  Thanks Admin for approving my user

                  My First Post

                  I've been on the lookout for Yamaha R15 V1 Front tyre for quite some time now.
                  The default front tyre, 80/90 - 17 MRF Zapper, is nowhere to be found :-/

                  I've searched far and wide for this - Bengaluru JC Road, Hosur Road, Kerala, and even few MRF dealers.
                  None of the stores had any tyre of this size. Also, MRF dealers mentioned that MRF have stopped producing tyres of this size.

                  This was the case when I had to replace my rear tyre as well.

                  Planning for a trip to Goa soon. Need to get it replaced the front tyre before that.

                  Can anyone please point me in the direction for getting the above mentioned size tyre, preferably in Bengaluru

                  Any help in this regard is highly appreciated.

                    Your dealer was right. v1 tyre sizes are no longer available (fresh stock) and you shall have to make do with v2 tyres. I will make the front a little nose heavy though.

                      Apart from being little nose heavy, will it have any impact on the bikes handling, performance, mileage, etc?

                          If you rate v1's front tyre as 10/10, then v2 tyre would be 8/10 in most aspects.

                          Depends on how old the tyre is, when bought. Rubber becomes hard and useless by the end of 4 years. If you buy a new tyre (~4 to 8 months old), you can store it for a year and use it later for a couple of years.

                          • HELP!!! changing Glamour Tube tyres to tubeless

                            hello, I bought a hero glamour, 6 months back and and since then I have suffered severe pain and problems with tyre punctures. Once got stuck 20kms away from home with no one to help at night at 2:00 am and had to ride the bike home in puncture condition which was dangerous and also had to replace the tube for rs 300.

                            Hence, I thought of replacing the tubed tyres with tubeless ones. So, today I went to a shop to replace the tyres. however, the owner told me that i can obviously change the tyres and put tubeless on them, but it is not recommended. Because, although the rims are alloy, they are not made for tubeless tyres as the rim does not come with prefixed nozzle. Although they can attach nozzle to the rim, but there are chances of air leakage and it will not be as good as a stock tubeless wheel. He also told me that it is risky and if I want to change the tyres, i would need to change the rim also to tubeless rims. the guy seemed legitimate and suggested me get more info before replacing the tyres.

                            so, can i change the tyres and go tubeless with out any problems to be faced in future? and is it safe?

                            Although it may sound silly, but is it better to sell this bike and get one with tubeless tyres pre installed with tubeless rims?


                            and if it is ok to replace the tyres on this bike, the stock tvs tyres that came with the glamour are

                            front - 2.75x18- 42p/4 pr *both tyre sizes are from maxabout.
                            rear - 3.00x18- 52 p/6 pr.

                            but the tyre size of the tubeless ones (michelin) are 80/100- 18 47 p.

                            are the sizes of the tyres same??


                            sorry for a long and confusing post if it is. and thank you for your replies.

                            I travel a lot, sometimes at night on unavoidable work purposes and go to dangerous roads/places, where normally there are no humans around 10-20 kms. And this "WHAT IF" puncture issue is seriously bothering me.

                                I am thinking of fitting imported tyres onto my p180dtsi
                                BUT I ABSOLUTELY AM AGAINST DOING ANY STRUCTURAL MODIFICATIONS TO THE BIKE, LIKE TO THE RIMS SWING ARM ETC.

                                So plz tell me which is the max sized tyre I can fit, keeping the same rim on my p180dtsi, where can I do this (in mumbai), and the cost of the tyres.

                                I read Hatari's discussion on how the engine is loaded when tire size is reduced.
                                I dont wanna put any extra load on the engine whatsoever.
                                Will my engine stay fine, as I am keeping the diameter constant (rim is the same) , or will it be loaded even because of a fatness increase. If this is so, I will drop the whole idea.

                                What are the pros and cons of the following two types of tyres: those which have a "spiky" grip, like in dirtbikes and "bald" tyres like those in SBKs.

                                Regarding the front tyre, I ofcourse am not gonna upsize it coz that will make handling heavier, but what abt same sized tyre with better grip?

                                and lastly, just for information sake, I read on this site that if u fit a smaller tyre, u gotta do resprokecting to compensate for the loss of speed at a particular RPM, in order not to load the engine. so can anyone plz calculate and tell me, if somebody has fitted an elim rim on the rear, how many teeth should each of his sprokets have, in order that the engine is not loaded at all, and the speed at a given RPM does not decrease??? Thanxalot...
