      Thank you for your suggestion. The Pirelli has Short life and are expensive. I have selected the MRF FX1 for front and Michelin Street at the rear.
      Thanks again.

        PSD is now cheaper. 3k for 100/80 and 4k for 140/70 in Trivandrum. I squeezed out 30k km on a pair before switching to Streets with Streets near to touching another 30k :P

          Guys... I own an RS 200.. firstly I'm sorry if this has been asked again and again.. Bear with me...

          Is it okay to go with CEAT zoom Tyre? Are they okay in wet conditions and how's the cornering.. I don't lean in to scrape my footpeg but how good is it... The CEAT Tyre store guy owes me a 300...so I prefer CEAT.. If it's not worth it I'll go for MRF zapper.. Please give me some. Info.. This is my first Tyre change..

                150/60 is there and can be used on most of the sub 400cc sports bikes including cbr ktms ninjas

                  Am asking about 150/70 ? Higher profile 150 section.
                  Is that size available in Michelin PSR series?

                    Not in the Michelin PSR. Pierlli used to have 150/70 x-ply tyre in their Sport demon series.

                      Hey guys, when it comes to MRF Revz S VS MRF Zapper S : As the Revz S is a radial, is it really better that Zapper S?

                      I am Planning to change the Euroslips on my Pulsar200 to :
                      Front : 100/80 MRF Zapper FY2 (RS200 Front tyre)
                      Rear : 130/70 MRF Revz S (R15 Rear Tyre)

                      Any other suggestions please? I am looking for a medium compound tyre with good cornering abilities, need some durability hence medium compound.

                      For the front tyre, other options I have listed are :
                      Ceat Zoom Plus F 100/80 -- does anyone have any experience with this tyre?
                      Michelin Pilot Sporty 100/80 -- is this better over the Zapper FY2?
                      It's a lot like nuts and bolts - if the rider's nuts, the ride - bolts!

                        Hi Guys,

                        I need a suggestion, i want to change the rear tyre for FZ-S FI 2015 model. The stock tyre gave up on 20K kms, and its time to change it. The bike will be used 90-95% in the city by my father who is quite a passionate rider (he rides my Duke as well). So he's looking for a balance between cost and grip, not too bad at either one.

                        Hows CEAT ZOOM XL? any other decent options in a closer price range?

                        Any suggestion is welcome.

                        TIA,
                        Vishal

                          I have just changed from euroslips on my AS200 to Zapper FX1 and Michelin Street Radial, both on stock size. Spent 7k and I am loving it for sure.

                            I have recently shifted from Euroslips to MRF FX1 front and Michelin Street Radial for rear. Both on stock size and I am loving it.
