Front m45 3.00 -18

Michelin M45 for All new ZMR

since 1100kms in odo ! used M45 both F and R
3.00 - 18 and 4.00 -18

starting from 1 kms in the new tyre , i heard a loud noise from the Front tyre at the speed between 55 to 65 kmph . rode with same noise for 120 kms !
the sound was still there !

so checked the tyre with regional manager ! as per the rules and regulations of WARRANTY he got back the tyre and gave me a new 3.00-18 M45 !

again there was a issue with the tyre ! same noise was there and the left edge of the tyre came out while riding down hill and just escaped from crash !

so i experienced some sort of issues with two M45 3.00-18 !

is it the issue with tyre or Alloys ?

just now bought Stock 80/100-18 MRF tyres and got it fitted !

now there is no issue with stock tyre and there is no noise from tyre !

confuseddd

@ yash3

It has awesome grips on wet in roads,don't know about others.

u mean wet right ??

Oh.Sorry,Yes,wet.

Mistake Edited.

Yes , I understand perfectly ... everyone was a student once , and even the finance minister has to work with a limited budget . I am impressed that you maintain your enthusiasm for the motorcycling sport despite odds . Bravo ! I have never done a rally and I am curious , what other preparations do you make for such ... and how is the experience ?

Michelin M45 is a tubed tyre . While they may work good on some rims for sometime , tubed tyres may not always have enough sidewall strength to be used tubelessly . It is inherently risky to use a tyre out of the manufacturers specifications . My guess is that your front m45 was bulging in it's side and rubbing on the forks etc ... or simply not snug enough on the rims . I am surprised that Michelin gave you warranty for their m45 being used tubeless . It's good that you are safe .

even in Kolkata... im not getting it anywhere..

all w.r.t a 220...saurabh the pirellis are better than zappers in monsoons but i dont think they would be better than the sirac...

i think.. it is because you UPSIZED your Front tyre.. from 2.75 to 3.00..!!
just fit your stock 2.75 tyre or another M45 2.75 tyre.. n check....

Yes. Pirellis are better than Zappers in the wet.

They're better than IRCs too.

I prefer them over the knobby Siracs too.

Thnks Dada.. for being able to understand my situation.... n that was a perfect 'example'.. regarding the 'financial condition'..

Rally'ing got into my blood & was a DREAM for me... from the Day I saw it for the 1st time.. (guess.. i was in class 7 that time)...
then finally participated for the 1st time in 2010... 'KaviGuru Rally' in a Pulsar'180'Dtsi..
Honestly speaking.. Moreover than an 'experience'... it was a DREAM come 'Successful' for me...
i didnt have surplus budget & didnt even took much financial help from Parents even.. So, just made the 'basic' preparations & some low'cost-self-custom-brain-made fittings...
if you want you chek out the pics in my..

i think ZMA 's stock is 2.75 !
ZMR's stock is slightly bigger that ZMA
For ZMR lot of People using 3.00 F

i thought of going in for 2.75 F !
but michelin people din recommend it !

NO nothing Bro ! My ZMR is just 2 months and 2.3kms old !

the tyre doesnt rub the forks ! it was perfect !

and many recommended MRF For the Front !

so i just got one ! now no problem with the sound nor the grip !
