Bajaj Pulsar 150 Tyre Size

The Bajaj Pulsar 150 is the definitive poster child of the sporty Indian commuter movement. Over two decades of continuous refinement, Bajaj has systematically upgraded the motorcycle's tyre package: the single-disc variant rolls on an 80/100-17 front and 100/90-17 rear tyre, while the premium Twin Disc variant adopts beefier 90/90-17 front and 120/80-17 rear tubeless tyres mounted on 17-inch alloy wheels. The wider 120mm rear profile on the Twin Disc version provides a broad contact patch that enhances high-speed stability when cruising between 80 and 95 km/h on open ring roads. Bajaj recommends maintaining 28 psi at the front and 32 psi at the rear (upping the rear to 35 psi with a pillion). Enthusiasts should avoid the temptation of mounting excessively wide 130 or 140 section rear tyres on the stock 2.5-inch rim: pinching a wide tyre onto a narrow rim creates a bulbous 'donut' profile that actually reduces the effective cornering contact patch, slows down flickability in urban traffic, and causes chain guard rubbing.
