You’ve thought about it, no? The idea of having a giant, fat tyre at the back of the motorcycle, just like you see on the big bikes is a universal aspiration. There are also those amongst you who think that more rubber equals more grip, more confidence and a better riding experience. But does that add up? Are the manufacturers sticking skinny tyres on your bike just for the cost? Shumi has the answers

My karizma zmr v2 had a stock tyre of 120 at back and 80 at front. My rear tyre used to slip on heavy rains even in 40 to 50 kmph, but i upsized it to 130 and used the interceptor tyres by ceat and now that my rear end got grippier my front with 80 section tyres started slipping on roads or atleast i noticed it only when the rear got better. What tyre should i upgrade it to? The bike really picks up speed but the front tyre is scary. Should i upsize it and if yes pls suggest a good tyre for me. Note that the rim diameter is 18 inches and not the usual 17s and there are a few options.

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.
