Can i put Dunlop Zebra Y-plus as front tyre for my Hero Honda Splendor bike for better GRIP and stable ride?
-
Hello Indian Bike lovers, Pls help me with this... Here is my story... My father bought a Hero honda Splendor plus in year 2004. Since then, he was using it until he gave it to me in 2008 june because of back pain caused to him due to heavy riding on his previous bike Rajdoot. I was using Discover 125cc spoke versions bought in 2006 feb which i sold it in 2008 feb due to Engine and Mileage problems (Failure model) and took over splendor. My father used to ride it rarely after that. He proffered Car. In 2008 june he met with an accident and in 2008 oct i met with an accident in the splendor. Both were due to skidding of bike. So i went to Herohonda authorized service center near my home (we usually give the bike for service at that center only) and asked him, Y this happed! He asked me to change the rear tyre as the tyre threads were gone. So i asked him to fit a little thicker tyre i.e. the next size (3x18). He said, its not good for the bike and he is not Authorized to do that as they r Authorized Service guys. But said he will put MRF tyre with good threaded tyre of size 2.75x18. So i accepted it and asked him to change. Next day i went there to get my bike back. It was Shocking to see that he had changed the tyre, but not MRF but a dunlop zebra y-plus. I demanded a explanation, and he said the dunlop is also a good one. I saw the thread of the dunlop tyre to be thicker than my previous tyre and was little satisfied and so i paid for it and rode my bike home! To be frank, i did't know much details of tyre at that time. so i did not inspect the tyre and started continuing. From 2008 till 2009 the tyre's performance was good but after 2009 aprl i again started experiencing heavy wobbling and skidding until in 2010 oct as i once again met with an severe accident at the speed of just 30kmph reasoned due to skidding. My foot got injured severely and i had to lose my job due to that. After healing, i took the bike to the same Service center (with anger) and asking him, y my bike gets skidded at low speeds and y i get heavy wobbling even after changing the tyres? He inspected and said, "Sir, u had fitted a wrong tyre in the rear. It should be 2.75x18 48p in the rear but u had fitted 2.75x18 42p (which is the size of front tyre) !". I got angry and replied that i had change the tyre at the same shop here only but the mechanic and manager denied. I went home and got the bill of the tyre and showed to them. They got shocked and said "sir, i guess it might be the mistake of the old mechanics who worked here previously and now here we all new workers and we dont know about this incident". The usual thing to escape which almost all useless shops says.. They again wanted me to put a new tyre from them !! From then, i decided not to go with them and searched on Internet and at last bought a Michelin sirac 3x18 tyre for rear and fitted it. But Now the removed tire is Dunlop zebra y-plus 2.75x18 42p (the cheated one). Actually, From the date of purchase of the bike, i have changed the rear tyre 2 times and this sirac is the 3rd one BUT never changed the front tyre. The current front tyre is Dunlop maxi-rib 2.75x18 42p. Its condition is ok, not worn off yet but has cracks. My question is- Is it advisable to change my front tyre from Dunlop maxi-rib to Dunlop zebra y-plus both of same size? Wat about the grip and stable riding? Many mechanics say its not advisable due to thread diffrence between these 2 tyres. Even at some forums (xbhp), one of the threads said, its good to put zebra for disc bike but not advised for drum (mine is drum braked bike). But the dunlop India website says, both these are for front tyres use for HH splendor. Infact Zebra is has more features and benefits than maxi-rib. But the mechanics confuse me. I am totally confused.. I am in a hurry too, because one of my brother's friend have asked for a tyre which is unused. this extra tyre in my garage is in good condition. i dont want to give it off to someone else or throw off for waste. Wat should i do? Pls help.. Pls Advise.. Thanx in Advanced !
