Hey I have planned to go LEH in the month of July 2010 on my Karizma with a pillion. I would be using the Manali - LEH Route. The only problem I am facing at the moment is finding right tire for my bike.
I have read all of the thread for Karizma, and found few good suggestions about tires that can be fitted to karizma.
The options that I went for were Michelin Sirac and CEAT Vertigo. But I was not able to find any tire from these companies that were TUBELESS. All the tires that I searched and found were TUBE TYPE, and everyone was willing to make that TUBE TYPE TIRE into tubeless one.
Being a novice to biking, and I have never heard or done such a thing before: - like fitting a tube type tire as a tubeless one. I am bit nervous about doing so.
So I would like experts to shed some light and help me.
My Questions are:-
Are tubeless tires available for Karizma, and if yes where can I buy them in Mumbai.
Is it reasonable/satisfactory to fit a tube type tire as a tubeless tire and use it? Please help me with pros and cons of fitting such a tire.
If I am not able to find a tubeless tire, will it be good enough to use a tube type tire and make the trip.
If anyone has a better suggestion I would be thankful if they can guide me in the right direction.


is difficult to be found with exact match.
