    Anyways may be u r rit for Racers who do Burnouts...
    but m45 sticks like glue whereas monster dont.... Monster really wears out weirdly and makes serious handling issues....its quite an odd tire.... Its doesnt offer the levels of grip it luks like.... Sirac street is way better bro....

      So i'm bit confused which is for my twister
      Actually i got zerod on Pilot sporty but you guys confusing me
      So tell me which one

      Pilot sporty 100/90 x 17
      Pirelli SD 100/80-17 TL
      Pirelli MT75 100/80 x 17
      MRF zapper c 100/90
      its pilot sporty for you bro....they are tube type but you may try fitting them as tubeless... And if you want pure tubeless pleasure then get the r15 front and rear tire for almost same price...they are better...bt will wear out faster... dont buy pirellis for your bike....it wud be costly bro and its not needed... The above two are more than enough.... post pics when you get them..before and after fitting

          performance will not at all drop bro.... Maybe you will see some increase in performance... And pilot sporty offers very very gud grip in dry roads, corners very well, u dont have to lean the bike forcibly, the moment you turn the handle, the bike will start leaning by itself... Straightline braking is super awesum, no fishtailing, no skidding..., the tyres will lock but still maintain a line and the best part is you can feel the tire...like how much grip its giving, how much more you can lean, how much and at what angle the tire is skidding when u brake hard. Its very communicative... Trust me this tire saved my life so many times... Bt bro beware of sand and gravel....its looses its grip there... Wet grip is also good.... The tire will give very good grip in heavy rain and wet roads, bt when the roads start drying, the roads become muddy and thats when the tire looses some grip... My tire is around 8k kms old, have lost a bit on the lean angles bt the braking is still awesum.... When you lock the brakes, you wont even hear the tire screeching....no sound at all.... I could pop wheelies in the rain when the tire was new. Its a very gud tire. M very much satisfied...

            yesterday i went MRF show room which is near to my home.that guy suggest me to put FZ front tyre on twister rear costs Rs.1600. Is it suitable for my twister. But i don't want to change my front tyre.

              Never put front fitment tire on rear,It may cause wobbling and even skidding during wet conditions.

                              Get the Pilot Sporty,Soft compound tires,will worn out faster than Zapper and are pron to punctures.But will offer very good grip in both wet and dry roads.Try searching for Pirelli SD 100/80-17.will lasts upto 15k and wont gets puncture easily.
