well i have a query about the same topic people,

i wanted to know if changing a rear tyre on a unicorn to a 100,110,120. will suffice for the road grip or is it recommended to change even the front zapper-fs 2.75-18 tyre (stock) to a broader one or a better brand/pattern to achieve ultimate bends at sharp turnings, for i have tryed to bend my bike at a 100degrees angled turning at around 70kmph with the stock 3.00-18 at rear and 2.75-18 at front and could not dare to do the turn at a higher speed than that!. this i did without a pillion on my version 2 unicorn!

please provide the info! for i am trying to fit in karizma alloys and i think i can easily fit in 90/90-18 at front and a 120/90-18 or 120/80-18 tyre at the rear end. ( i am actually planning for a pirelli set of tyres so please suggest me the best patterns in pirelli too, all thoughts,ideas,suggestions,advices are welcome!)
