3. BEST BIKE TYRES – Commuter to Sports

For 100-125cc (Splendor, Shine, Pulsar 125):

• MRF Nylogrip Plus / Zapper Q: ₹1,700 – ₹2,200 – 35k km life, best wet grip
• CEAT Milaze XT: ₹1,200 – ₹1,400 – 40k km, lowest cost/km
• TVS Eurogrip Remora: ₹1,100 – ₹1,600

For 150-200cc (Pulsar, Apache, Unicorn, FZ):

• Apollo Alpha H1 110/70 R17 / 150/60 R17: ₹2,800 – ₹4,500 – Best for comfort

Premium segment (>₹1,600): Apollo Aerolander, Michelin Pilot Street 2 – better grip for spirited/touring riders

My recommendation for you in 2026:

If Scooter: Take CEAT Milaze X5 or Reise troopR03 – both under ₹1,600, puncture resistant and built for bad roads.

If Bike (commuter): MRF Zapper front + rear combo – around ₹3,400 for both. Unbeatable balance.

If Bike (performance / long ride): Apollo Alpha H1 – a bit pricier but much more stable at 80+ kmph.
