@ Aneesh & other guys, picked up Sirac Street 2.75 x 18'' for the front & 3.00 x 18" for the rear which goes into my Rx 135. I'm just contemplating between going back to 2.75 x 18" M45 for the rear as i feel 3.00 will be a slight over kill for the looks as well as the handling.
I will suggest that change,because Sirac 3.0 will be little bigger than normal 3.0 * 18 tires,so get Michelin M45 3.0 * 18 for rear,it will be more skinny than Sirac and will offer excellent grip and wont hurt your bike.
Also the 2.75 x 18" Sirac Street pattern front cannot be used in the rear i guess...Any pointers to decide on this??
i want a 120 or 130 size tyre for my R15.... have plans to buy pirelli .,,,but was finding some options.... can u find the ceat tyre model name... so that i can search it in my city...

Guys need immidiate help???????? My NEW FZ's rear stock tyre bursted only after 1600 km's after a lot of trails of repairing a puncture on it which happened after some days I purchased my bike. But now the tyre wala is saying nothing can be done other than replacing the tyre. So need urgent help & which tyre options are available and also will the stock ones can be again on my list as now I am totally frightened of those, & if other options are available which are they and of what size & company. I want good grip on all weather conditions, & should be quite tough (as sometimes I have to carry 2 pillions) & must be DURABLE and where can I get in KOLKATA. (I NEED ONLY TUBELESS TYRES)

Get Pirelli Sport Demon 130/70-17 or 140/70-17,Tube less and rock solid tires.
What type of compound is Michelin Sirac Street made of? i think i read somewhere that its soft compound. Can anybody confirm?
@Aneesh..
Read on Michelin India's website that the bike should be ridden at normal speeds for the first 100 miles. Wonder what normal speeds are . I had an accident couple of months before where i hit a car from the rear and another biker hit my bike's rear. Since then, when i viewthe bike from the rear, The bike's rear mudgard and the tyre seem misaligned to me.Does this mean that the tyre is not aligned properly? When i asked my mechanic, he said that only the mudgard is bent and there is no misalignment with the tyre. I'll post the pics of this misalignment over the weekend.
Here go the pics of the new tyres on my glady. Please note the close up pic of the rear tyre. Is anybody able to figure out the slight misalignment between the mudguard and the tyre? Do you guys think that there could be a tyre misalignment?
