          Yes, my Classic 180 was on Zapper-FS (2.75-18) and Zapper-Q (100/90-18), and it turned into a supermotard every freaking time it rained....Just two weeks back Switched to Michelin Sirac Street for both front (2.75-18) and rear (100/90-18). Unbelievable grip on gravel, loose sand, wet sand, and clay. Very good grip on wet tarmac, and brilliant grip on dry tarmac.

          Will update as soon as I can find more different types of road surface

          Also, in India we should refer to it as Road Scarface

          • Can anyone share their view about Michelin Pilot sporty tyres? (size 2.75*18 and 3*18 for front and rear). An opinion on how they fare compared to Michelin Sirac street tyres and Pirelli Sports demons?

            OT: The dealer who promised to get me M45 tryes now says that he cant, so out of luck. If Pilot sporty can offer decent grip on wet/dry tarmac, and if it does not wear out as quickly as Pirelli SDs, I will pick them up instead. Hunt for the M45 still continues though.

            The above posts are derived from aggregation of opinions of several xBhp ZMA riders, based on personal experience/common sense. Please be advised that some things might differ from manufacturer's recommendations.

              I have a Sirac 120/90 for rear and Pilot sporty 100/80 (17") on front for my P220. Pilot sporty is a medium compound tyre and performs well in wet & dry tarmac, flickability and cornering confidence is defintily a improvement from stock tyre.

                Please post an image of your front tyre on the bike.

                And how much did you pay for it?

                EDIT: This would be asking for too much, but is it possible to post a pic of your bike side by side with another with a stock tyre.

                  Yes it performs badly.I have seen a C5 skidding in wet roads in less than 40kmph speed.

                  As Yuv has mentioned the Pilot sporty is a medium compound tyre, offers decent grip on wet tarmacs and is good for cornering if not as good as PSD's.
                  BUT I doubt if it is available for 18' wheels.

                  @Praful: Michelin pilot sporty price and image from one of your old thread in a different forum.
