MRF tyres official online store
I came across this website which is the official online store for MRF tyres,
They are right now serving banglore, delhi, faridabad, gurgaon, noida, Pune, with more cities being added slowly.
The pricing is quite low and you will find all kind of tyres from MRF which usually is difficult to find locally, pricing includes fitment, alignment, balancing, valves. Very simple and easy to understand interface.
Just select your tyre, pay online, book appointment according to your preferred time and location and you are set. Had purchased r15 v2 REVZ S 130/70R17 tyres for ₹3140 which otherwise was being sold for ₹3900 due to unavailability.Comment

Re: Bajaj Dominar 400 Ownership Experience Thread
20k kms! How much more would you expect a tyre to last on a 200cc revv happy motorcycle! That is fantastic life for a tyre.Originally posted by Ajay Vishwanath View Post
I know i am generalising here, but on these bikes ideally you should be looking to change after 15k, after that you are asking for trouble.Biking is not about what you have between your legs, its all about how well you use it!!!!!!!

It often happens to a lot of people, you see the tyre everyday and you see it wear out gradually, so to the owner it looks like the tyre is new!
Like children growing up. The parents see their kids everyday and forget that they children are growing at an alarming rate. Along comes a relative who visits once a year and finds it incredible how much the children have grown
What a comparison!
It might look 'like' new, but it isn't. It's 19k old! Tyres have markers to see when it is nearing its end. Check that.
You can of course run your tyres till its bald, like the pizza delivery boys do, but then you aren't riding a Splendor. Running worn tyres on a bike like the R3 isn't worth the risk.Biking is not about what you have between your legs, its all about how well you use it!!!!!!!

Why is your tyre shining so much!Originally posted by Chandan92 View Post
If you see the centre of your tyre, it is flat. That is where the tyre spends the most amount of time if you don't live in the hills or ride on track!
The tread is worn in the centre. The groove isn't deep enough to dump out water when you are riding on wet roads. No problems if you are pottering along at 40 kmph. Problematic if you ride the bike at the speeds which the R3 is capable of.Biking is not about what you have between your legs, its all about how well you use it!!!!!!!

Re: Bajaj Dominar 400 Ownership Experience Thread
Thanks! Also I feel Michelin has tendency to suffer wheelspin after 15k kms and this thing increases in summer.Originally posted by The Monk View PostComment

Mine have done 18k on an AS200. My front tyres are skidding way to much in the wet, dry is not an issue yet. Don't really use rear brakes, so no skids at the back yetComment

You can check these by looking closely at your tire near where the sidewall meets the contact patch of the tire. Some manufacturers use raised triangles, some print the letters “TWI” whichever your tire has it will be raised/printed in the rubber. When you find this mark look across the contact patch of the tire and recessed into the treads you will find the actual wear indicators. When these marks are equal to the tread, it’s time for new tires. Basically, if that square groove between the tread and the treads are flat, a tire replacement is required.

The girl said, 'NO!'
And the guy lived happily ever after and rode motorcycles and watched sport on a big screen TV, went fishing and surfing, and played golf a lot, and drank beer and scotch and had tons of money in the bank and left the toilet seat up and farted whenever he wanted.
