        • ^^^ fatter tyre = more contact patch + extra weight. There would be a drop in efficiency... can't say how much.

              Oh! well... they do skid but I believe they do it lesser than most other brands and are far far better than the Zappers in grip levels.

                Dude even motogp tyres skid yarr.Ive personally seen many bikes with M42 they are very happy with it
                As for the weight,I think its not that heavy,There will only be a marginal drop in efficiency.

                      Try Sign tyres in Chembur and Metro tyres at Grant Road. Hopefully, Sign should have it in stock

                            It was Easy to fit,,but it was useless...it's meant for FZ only Bhai...

                            it spoilt the handling,moreover it was looking as if only a 120/80 section tyre on 200!
                            and no good!
                            ther person had to take it off in some kms only i think he used it for some 400kms then replaced the tyre by 120/80Section, MRF NyloZapper VYDE!

                              Inder, Yes thats right Akshay is from Chandigarh and has got the best performing Michelin Sirac recently for his ZMA. The reason for me to go for CEAT for R15 is
                              1. They are tubeless, I believe Michelin's are tubed once.
                              2. 18 inches are available but no one here has the 17 inches of Michelin.
                              3. Michelin's are VFM but I am going to use the tyre only for the trip, once back to Chandigarh I will put my stock MRF back so dont wana spend that much.
                              Coming to Delhi Then??? When.??

                              The plans for LEH is finalised and I am taking my R15 for this one. So planning to change the rear tyre for the ride, as I believe the front one will perform ok. Have zeroed down to the ceat tubeless vertigos attaching a pic of the same. Now I have two options of 100 and 120 section, so which one will be better for the ride?

                              Thanks

                              Amit
                              100/90! anytime!

                                Any idea how much they will cost? I need a 2.75 front and 3.00 rear.
