Tyres for Victy!!

Raajiv · 24th October 2007, 12:21

Hello People,

The existing tyres in my Victor GL (2002 model - which came with a very bad set of tyres ) have worn out.Please suggest a good tyre brand and what is the Profile i need to go for?

My priority is the tyre must give a good road grip and nice ride comfort.When i went to enquire dealer suggessted to use MRF instead of CEAT/TVS tyres.Is that good,are there any specific model in MRF that i should look for?

MRF Zappers are pretty good for riding at moderate speeds, and good VFM too. Not very confidence-inspiring in the rain, very good in the dry.

Try out the Zapper C. I think the size should be 2.75 in the front, and 3.00 in the rear. Do victors run 17 or 18 inch tyres?

Victy runs 18 inches.Which tyre gives good confidence on Wet Surfaces?

I will recommend Dunlop Geocruisers as they are realitvely softer & have better grip than the Zappers This is my experience of using both tyres on a Pulsar..

The Geo is 100\90 I am not sure if it comes in 3.00 size
