That's the content I pay my internet bills for.. Great video as always PD.. SHUBAMA OP..😀

I made a mistake when I upsized my Hero Impulse rear tyre to a 120/90-17 which is a Himalayan rear tyre. The original is 110/90-17, it looked cool, however I could never go beyond 65kmph.. Originally the 150cc is underpowered and it made matters worse. Shumi is 100% right, dont change your tyres

'If you want to look at motorcycles, there are motorcycle museums for it. We buy motorcycle to ride it..' Best line in today's video!

I downsized my fz rear tyre from 140 to 130, bike became quick, easy to corner and slight increase in mileage.

It is 12:30 am here in LA but I am still watching now instead of waiting till the morning! Thats how interesting these videos are! Keep it up Shumi bro!

Thank you PowerDrift and Shumi. These videos have definitely changed my perspective as a rider.

That bit about the tyres in relation to skill and execution around corners hits me hard. Love from the Philippines

I'd love to know about different suspension set up like preload, compression and rebound adjustments

Shumi sir be clearing all of the facts so good 🔥

The timings couldn't have been bang on, I was thinking of upsizing my scooter tyres, the idea has been dropped for now. Love your vids always Shumi sir, keep up the good work... 👍👍

What about under sizing from 130 to 120 and getting dual purpose tyres to do some trails... Will it affect negatively in any way??

Thanks a lot for generalizing the thing for motorcycles & scooters too. I am a scooter guy & love to know about every single thing that can make it totally the best to ride without tampering it. So, thanks a gazillion for generalizing the thing. Meanwhile, the series is fabulous & pretty sure it is never ending.

When I bought my dominar 250 2months back, I was really eager to upsize the tyre to 110&150section as like its upper sibling the domi400.. but as days went by I really got used to the 130section tyre and now I really doubt whether it's worth spending that extra 10k money. I would better use that money for fuel and other expenses.

This very very informative videos you make every day.. I would like to thanks to PD team who does hard work and sharing great info to us.😊👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Very informative, I was looking for this information as I was about to change the tyres on my bike, thought of going to large section Tyres, but now nope. Thank you.

This format of vids are such a boon thank you!

got it, when you said if you want to look go to museum...superb shumi sir...!

Informative as always. Thank you Shumi sir!

Great video!! Clear cut & honest information. Loved it!! ❣️

Thank for covering this topic team PD and dear shumi

1st of All.... Thanx for providing all the useful information about tyres. My Question is.... Can a 150/70 R 17 Rear Tyre of Honda CB 350 RS be fitted in My Dominar 400 which has a stock 150/60 R 17 Rear Tyre ? I want a higher side profile of the rear tyre. Will it increase the ground clearance of the Dominar which is 157 mm with the stock tyre ? Also please tell what good/bad effects will it have on the ride, handling & overall performance of my bike.

2:59 Came here with this concern and I wanted to make sure of it. I have a Bajaj Pulsar RS200. The stock tire sizes are 100/80 for the front and 130/70 for the back. I upsized 1 size for both tires (110 & 140) for "more stability and better cornering". Noticed a decrease in fuel mileage and acceleration but I didn't care. However, I always noticed how the 140 tires always looked small on my bike, but noticeably bigger on other bikes with 250/300cc, until I inspected the rim width of my bike and compared it to theirs. Turns out, the rim's horizontal width of my RS200 is noticeably less wide than other said 250/300cc motorcycles. That's when I knew that maybe I'm wasting my money and A LOT of potential power and acceleration in size that is basically going to waste, and it was only confirmed in this video. Thanks for the quality content.

Initially it was a bit harsh but afterwards he is actually right 👍👍 actual knowledge addition thanks man

Thank You Shumi,Just I'm On The Way To Upsize My Shine Tyre Today,But Your Info Make Sense About Tyres.

My r15 v2 comes with mrf zapper 90/80 17 front and 130/70 17 rear. So after 17000km of use i changed the tyre with MRF Masseater 90/90 17 front and 140/70 17 rear. Perfect Size for my bike better handling and breaking control than stock.. fully satisfied 💯✊💥

Please make a video on effects of using different brand tyres on front and rear. Example: front metzeler tourance, rear michin anakee. And as always.. great video and information. Thanks Shumi and PD!

Schumi 👏👏👏 Really simplified, no bakwaas! Keep it rolling. Cheers

Awesome explanation. Thanks a lot

3:42 nice tip imma go do it

Spot on. Tyres these days are so so good. Unless you are as skilled as MotoGP riders you can't extract performance from wider or expensive tyres. We'll be lucky to even extract 10% of that performance.

Great content and simplifying about upsizing tyres. Could you please give us the same kind of content for downsizing the tyres.

I'm sticking with the oem size on my M109. Thanks for your info. it help my buying decision.

Ahh, this is the major topic for making the custom cafe racer and scrambler bikes.

Loving this series!

I was searching for this video Boom and you uploaded ❤ Thank you veey much ❤💥

Hey Shumi, please make a video on retrofitting exhaust system in bikes and possible repercussions.

Again as every simplified videos teaches us to become a better rider with what u have...rather than complaining about things that u wish for. BTW same goes with ur life as well. CHEERS!

Once again, great, great and very comprehensive video.

Was thinking to go with 150/60 for my R15v4 which has 140 at rear. I've listened to people who done that with their v3..no negative feedback till now.

Straight to the point no nonsense 👍

"That's why museums are for." 😜 nice play of words, Shumi Sir. 🥰🥰

Great video. I have a 120 in the front and a 160 in the rear of my 2023 Honda CB750 Hornet. I prefer the look of a 180, nevertheless the bike performs so well I don't want to compromise its integrity. Cheers. Mike.

Thank you for this helpful video.

From my experience, one more demerit is that oversized tyres put a strain on the stock chain-sprocket. And one needs to replace the set more oftentimes.

That was very helpful thank you soo much pd

people laughing on F250's 130 tyre this video is for you

Best of PD video. Same thing I told the my friends but they really don't care.

My Svartpilen 250 has a rather chunky rear stock tyre but I wanted a better low end so I got the stock rear 42t sprocket swapped with a 47t and now it feels more alert

I like a format which explicitly underlines Both pros and cons

Loved the video and the way he explained (last line was ❤️ -we buy motorcycles to ride them not to just look at them )

You are just awesome shumi 🔥👍

Thanks for this video

What if I downgrade the size?

Great vid as always

Excellent explanation

Softer tyres which can smoothens the ride should be choice

The tagline for Simplified should be "Your motorcycle is better than you".

Im a simple man...i see shumi i hit the like button ! I wish my lectures were also conducted by this man😂😂😂🤷🏻‍♂️💯atleast would have been interesting

Is it alright to upsize by one size ? For my Yamaha YZF R3 I'm not being able to find any decent tyres for the stock 140/70 setup . So I'm having to get a 150/60 Apollo H1 alpha. Your advice would be highly appreciated.

Yet another quality content shared. 🙌🙌🙌🙌 Awesome 👍👍👍

Yep...this is more important than my work

Motorcycle manufacturer recommended tyre size is best for the bikes because they have r&d it a lot than us

We need more of these episodes❤️❤️❤️

I have a Bullet 350, in stock the rear tyre has a 3-25-19 section. So I was planning to put 110-90-19 ( MRF meteor ) to get more cornering grip. Because the stock tyre not giving me the feel and feedback which I used to get in the Classic 350. So is it advisable ???? Can I go for it????

Next video on best tyres in market ✌️

Very well explained 💯👌

Topic socho video available, how are you in my head Shumi sir 😂

Hi . I own an Interceptor 650 and that comes with 18 inch tyres ,both front and the rear.Even though RE has brought 18” inch alloys to the new models l would like to go for 17” wheels. There are few people who have used the 17” wheel of the Meteor on the rear ( direct fit and no mods required) and Dominar’s alloy wheel on the front( with certain modifications). Can you please suggest if this is a good idea?

Hello sir, i just wanted know, is installing dual purpose tyre ideal on the motorcycle which has road tyres as stock. Say for eg duke 200. Will it effect the balance of the motorcycle?

My CBR 150r came with tvs tyres which were trash, the stock size was 100/80-17 and 130/70-17. Since there were no good radial tyres at these sizes especially the front, i had to upsize them by 10mm. (110/60-17, 140/70-17) Have been running michelin pilot street radials since then. Recently replaced them with apollo alpha h1. I do have to lean them a bit more, but the bike feels better than ever before, top speed in each gear increased a bit too.

As usual well explained

Glad that PD had bought Very important aspects of motorcycling to the forum, I don't know how many of us watch Moto3 (250 cc) racing and check out it's tyre size and mind you it is capable to hit almost 220kmph and the tyre size probably thinner than what mfgs are giving right now in India for same capacity of Motorcycle . Meanwhile most important thing to choose the right compound and grip pattern for road / track use . Michelin, Metzeler or Pirelli offers slightly softer compound for road use. 99% of time mfgs are giving optimum tyre size.

This info make sense thanks man

Good information from powerdrift as always🤟🤟🤟❤️❤️❤️

Superb as always.

Front tyre upsize? Would 100 section front tyre make difference compared to 90 section?

Hey..! Shumi i have a FZ v1. Recently i replaced my stock rear section tyre which was 140/60 to 140/70. What about changes in tyre hight...? The only difference i noticed it increases my motorcycle's ground clearance.

For bullet electra owners there was always a default upsizing for the rear from 3.25 to 3.5 and I believe that was a good upgrade as it improved the grip and enhanced confidence

Oh the last thing what shumi said if you want to look at the motorcycles 🏍 that is what motorcycle museums are there for we are here to ride the motorcycles

Powerdrift: 1. Better infoGraphics that aid what Shumi is saying is needed. 2. Don't rely on stolen stock footages. 3. Very monotonic presentation.

Excellent video One question Sir⁉️ Do we have to Accelerate when down shifting the gear for smother way⁉️⁉️

thanks sir, u r d best one

Like always you r the best Love from Uttarakhand Haldwani (Nainital) ❤️❤️❤️❤️🥺🥺

Hello Shumi, I have Dominar 250. Wanted to change it from 100 to 110(Front) and 130 to 140 or 150(Rear). Can i do it...? Does this will affect my Fuel economy and other things on a larger extent..?

My favorite series in current is the PDS

Shumi what about going to a round profile tyre from a square profile within same section say 110, will it improve feel/feedback in corners?

Couldn't have simplified it better ✌️

Hi Schumi, you could want to touch on what an oversized tyre will do to the ABS system and traction/wheelie control .

Shumi sir can you make a video on different handle bars and can we change the handle bar for our motorcycles . Love you sir 🔥❤️

Love your sarcasm 😂

Hi PD, I own FZS v3 150cc which runs on thicker 100 & 140 section tyres. I am curious to know if i could downsize to thinner ones and what difference will it make as it is underpowered bike?

What about undersizing

Do a video on aftermarket exhausts

Shumi all the time says learn the motorcycle but doesn't tell how to learn where to learn...... Make a video on driving school comparison not like ranking them but one for racing on track one for off-roading one for cruising etc.

What are Shine front tyre upsize options?, looking for better grip. Thanks

Brilliant! Liked and subscribed. Thank you so much.

Great series!! Please also make for cars as well

Hiiii PowerDrift....... Appreciate your efforts!!!!!!!

Having doubt abt wheelbase whats the right amount of wheel base for the right purpose of bikes???
