Tires for Pulsar 180 UG3-Your suggestions please! MODS:Though this thread is about tires,i am posting it in this section because the tires in discussion are the bike tires.If you feel its an inappropriate thread in this section,please move it to the correct section.Thank you
I have a Pulsar 180 UG3 which has done 20,000 kms till now.I am running on stock tires
Rear-100/90-17 MRF ZAPPER -C
Front-2.75-17 MRF ZAPPER-FS
Due to a wobbling problem and also the age of the tires i am changing both front and rear tires.
I want to up-size the tires at both front and rear.Am thinking about 120/80-17 at rear and 90/90-17 at front.
I am not happy about the MRF zappers grip.It fish tails under moderate braking and tramlines a lot.In rains it does not inspire any confidence at all to brake.I need tires which offer super dry grip and a very decent wet grip.Please suggest good available tires for both front and rear which meet this criteria and also the price of them.I am not worried about longivity.If the tire lasts 15K kms,its more than enough for me.But i need loads of grip.
Also,180 UG3 comes with a chain guard.I am not interested in doing any mods like cutting or removing the chain guard to fit the up-sized tires.Will 120/80-17 fit without any alterations?And is FZ's 100/80-17 a good option for the front?
And lastly,can i fit a tubeless tire on my alloy wheels?Right now i am running on tube types.
Thank you |
