It looks really cool, and i must say that wider rear tyres are really great while taking tight turns in oblique position. They provide better grip over good and bad surfaces, but i must say that the tyre tread design also plays a big role in grip and traction, and MRF Zappers are the best in this regard..!<br /><br />however i am planning to get a 130/80 R17 MRF Zapper rear tyre, for the same reason: looks and grip..<br /><br />I think mileage will not be a problem, <br />*riding with a pillion and with stock tyres will definitely not give more mileage as compared to riding alone with little wider tyres, If weight is really an issue...<br />:)Jojonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-167798941970247934.post-88699698764262106312011-01-06T12:18:57.061+05:302011-01-06T12:18:57.061+05:30Possibly!

SECURA is a good one....plus it has that anti skid point added. Tried one more thing sometime back,lowered the air pressure by 3-4 points on the front wheel and the control and breaking became better but again its a very costly tradeoff with mileage. :))GAGANhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14802000646670767691noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-167798941970247934.post-657859211386812912008-03-03T21:59:00.000+05:302008-03-03T21:59:00.000+05:30You have a reall valid point dude, but I really do feel that a factory fitted tyre, a wide tyre as per the might of the bike, is very necessary in order to keep the bike of the ground. For example the width of the tyre that we have in our P220 and P200 plays a very important role in the overall stability of the bike, because even though the majority braking happens at the front wheel, but the actual throttle is comming from the rear tyre because it's the spin of the rear tyre that pushes the machine forward. Therefore bigger and faster machines should always come with wider tyres as per the specifications of the bike!!!<BR/><BR/>What say?Sajal Chakrabortyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16008600027091504649noreply@blogger.com
