    Re: Tyres

    Hello Everyone,

    I own a Bajaj Pulsar RS200 with stock rear size 130/70-17. I have been looking for a tyre for a while now.I have almost decided to Take Pirelli Sport Demon 140/70- 17 as my Rear Tyre.

    I know Michellin Pilot Street Radial have been leading this category, because its radial and has excellent wet grip ! However, I wanted something that could even perform well in hard terrains, which has a little bandwith for off roading and provides grip, without compromising the control. Hence, now I'm little more inclined towards taking Pirelli's.

    So, I just wanted to ask if anyone of you have any experiences with Pirelli Sport Demons? Any inputs/suggestions would be valuable.

    P.S. Do we have any off-road tyre with that specification?
    I look best when I take my helmet off, I have a glow on my face and a bit of helmet hair ;)

      Re: Tyres

      same queries about the pirelli sport demon as the post above, except i ride the R15v2 and looking mainly for a more grippy rear tyre which also has decent life span (just 12-15k kms would be fine for me)...PSD doesn't have so much life span i guess, anything else (other than the stock MRF for R15 rear) out there with more grip than stock but not as less a life as PSD ?

      i know these things depend crucially on road conditions and individual riding styles etc...but on an average, what might be the best option for what i am looking for ?

      i will probably stick with the stock MRF for the front as it is very good already, but really wish to try something else out for the rear as IMO the R15 stock rear doesn't offer as much grip as i'd like..

      for basic info, my bike's at 24.5k odo and it's the first time for tyre changing...

        Try MRFs masseters, they are good. Life is also decent and pocket friendly too.

          masseters don't come in R15's dimensions though...the rear is wider and the front narrower...

            Aren't Masseters Soft Compound? And will they be any good off-road? I am looking upto PSD because they are X-ply, provide good grip and have a decent life span.

            On the Contrary I think PSD have good life span because these are X-ply and dont have soft compound. They are offer good grip on tarmac and are now available for around 3500 bucks. The only thing I'm concerned is about the grip of PSD when we off-road.

              Masseters are soft compound, but have great life too and they are cross ply too.

                  They are bais ply tyres not radials.

                    Ohh, I thought they were Radials. My bad !

                    So , these are basically bias ply , hard compund tyres right? Same as PSD's ?

                      What's the difference between bias ply and radials? Can bias ply be tubeless? Can radials be with tubes?

                        Changed the stock tyres after 51k to Michelin sirac street . Grip is good..but front side of the bike is swaying to the right side while turning and also feels heavy while turning the handle bar.. What could be the reason?

                          let the tyre break in for some hundred kilometres then check .
                          btw which is your bike ?
