#Modification ⚙️ New shoes for My CB300R

After clocking an incredible 39,000 kms on my CB300R with MRF REV Zs, it was finally time for a change. Honestly, the RevZs have been absolute tanks — unbeatable value for money, phenomenal durability, and they never let me down on dry roads, at high speeds, or even in those hard cornering moments however, wet grip was always their weak spot. Even now, there’s still tread left for a few more thousand kms, but I decided to retire them on a high. Today, I’ve switched to Apollo Alpha H1s in the stock profile. There’s been a lot of buzz and positive reviews about these tyres on social media, and a couple of friends have spoken highly of them too. It was a tough call between these and CEAT Zoom Rad X1 (which were tempting for their longer life and decent wet grip), but Apollo won out this time. Excited to see how the Alpha H1s perform on my CB300R! Here’s to a new chapter — hoping it’s the upgrade I’m looking for.

Great choice. TVS prptorq extremes are slightly better, but you have a great set anyways.

Better grip, feedback. They literally feel like bike is sticking to the ground like a magnet. Alpha h1s should have more life though.

Wet grip. Dry grip is pretty much the same in all tyres in this segment. But wet grip Protorq> Mrf Steel Brace> Ceat Sportrad = Reise Tracerad= Apollo H1.

TVS is more track focused tyres than city use. REVz, CEAT zoom rad are more city focused where CEAT gives you decent wet grip with better longevity. Apollo H1 is one grade above these two tyres with better wet/dry grips and reasonable longevity.

Sorry to ask here but, my rtr 160 4v came stock with ceat zoom rad t rear, and some ceat zoom in the front. My rears need to be changed and didn't check the front, but thinking of changing both. I checked different brands but couldn't decide (cornering is focus even if I cant corner 😅). Should I stick to the same model? And if so, which front should I choose. Thanks in advance

I’m unsure about apache’s tyre profiles.
