    I am using using Michelin Sirac 120/80 as my rear tyre on my Karizma-R. I am thinking of upgrading the front to the Michelin Sirac Street 2.75 * 18. I need your opinion guys.
    You mean the Sirac Street with the thread pattern of your rear sirac or another Sirac Street? Sirac Street Front is available in two patterns.

      I am not aware of the two patterns. My rear tyre is the initial one. Not the Sirac Street.

                Sirac pattern you have is heavy and the other one i mentioned above is light weight. and offers good grip,I had bought one for my friend's Hunk. and he is 100% satisfied with the tire's performance.

                  Cool. What about other brands?? Any suggestions for a good front tyre??

                    Its very hard to ind good front 18" tires,only options are Michelin M45 3.0 * 18 and the Sirac. I am using Michelin M45 3.0 * 18 in front and i am 100% satisfied with its performance

                    • M45 is an excellent tyre, no doubt. Have the 2.75x18" on my Fiero F2&it is more than satisfying-I am yet to experience skidding even on really hard braking. The Michelin guys were right in their ad-the bike stops upto 2-3 feet earlier than what it used to previously!

                          in 3.25 x 19", 6/4 PR what does 6/4 PR stands for

                            Ply Rating-signifies how much load the tyre is capable of handling.

                                If you do off roading,go for MRF Zapper,If you ride always on rods,then get Pirelli SD 130/70-17 its around 3600rs.
