    you can go for 'Michelin M62-Gazelle' for the front'..
    +1 Get Michelin M62 Gazelle ,It has more grip than FZ's front tire.

          hmm... i was thinking of MICHELIN M62-GAZELLE... but is it hard-compound than M45... or same compound..?? coz.. i'll be using it for Rally's.... where I need hard compound tyres.

          Yes... MRF Moto C & Ceat Secura Sports are used by Rally'ists for 'front' fitment..

            I think M62 is hard compound.Sure that it is not same compound as M45

            Yes... MRF Moto C & Ceat Secura Sports are used by Rally'ists for 'front' fitment..
            oh..I didn't know that.Thanks bro.

                    alright!
                    but except from been most seen does 130/70-17 score any points against 130/80??

                    i took 130/80 into consideration coz the stock tyre was 120/80..

                      go for the 130 / 70 , 130 / 80 will be heavier and also it will change height of rear . the number after tyre width is the % in height to the width .

                        Yeah ,As the size of tire increases, the height should be reduced.So go for 130/70-17.

                            Moto-D not offroad tyres. They were used in Yezdi's and RX100s. It's button-type tyre, won't aid much in handling. When used in front will wobble a bit, when cornering. Bike won't tilt as in rounded section tyres.

                            Michelin Sirac Street is good. Ain't that available in 18"???
