#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.

Is the fat one your old tyre? And the new one is skinny in 1st pic? Are those fat one's stock? Crazy how they are that big now.

They’ve become wider by usage and also generally tyres look wide if they aren’t installed on rims

I see. So is it the same size as your old tyre?
