I want to replace the rear tyre of my CBZ Exreme. I am currently using Vee Rubber 110/90/18 which is tubeless and has gone bald. I donot want to go with this tyre again as I am unhappy with its performance though I want to stick to tubeless only.
Any suggestions?
And one more thing: Although I am against going for a fatter tyre but would it adversely affect the bike's performance if I go with a 120/80/18 rear?
Thanks

IRC is lovely till the second it touches sand/small grit or slush. Atleast the 110/80 street tyre is.
My comparison is the lovely "make your own road" TVS Jumbo!http://www.bikenomads.com/wiki/index.php/Leh - All you ever need to know about getting Leh'd.

You will definitely have a hard time finding a MRF tyre now as the MRF factory has been shutdown indefinitely on strike!_________________________

Originally posted by kurtrules View PostThanks Guys ... Have decided to go with the vertigo sport 120/80, though still a bit skeptical as it might be an overkill for the bike ...
its the ply rating that differs. Tubeless has 62, tubetype has 56.
120/80-18 may be huge for a normal bike but lets not forget... 120/80-18 is perhaps the only option that is readily available throughout. So if u want a tubeless..then Vertigo is the only option, and its worth it.
See my Avtaar pic...My zma is running on 120/80-18 Vrtigo Tubeless. Good tyre, good for on road and off road too. have clocked some 14k on it and still going strong.Last edited by dcs; 07-06-2009, 05:35 PM.Its not about the BHP or the CC, its about one common religion called Biking!!!
