      Pilot street is the tyre, pilot sporty are the not so good ones.

        Pilot Sporty is non radial and doesn't have good feedback

          I'm using the same non radial from past 7months in which I took bike even in off road... Pros are it's lasting long and provide grips only with dry roads cons are it does affect braking efficiency in wet roads and treads doesn't provide more grip on off roads!

            I'm not saying this is only best option... I'm just providing feedback of pilot sporty and its tread grips!

              Small UPDATE: changed tyres, as Michelin were losing grip. Stock tyres which came with the bike was replaced with Michelin street radials at around 2k kms and now Michelin is replaced by MRFs revz fc1 and masseter x at 22.5k kms. Total 20.5k kms covered on Michelin.

              Initial impressions of MRFs are good especially the masseter although I haven't tested on wet surfaces.

                  Cost difference between Michelin and these MRFs is ₹2800/-.

                      Going by looking the tyre Michelin will last for around 26-27k kms but i changed at 20.5k kms because grip was not sufficient and to avoid risk I changed it.

                      Yes changed both front and rear. MRF set costs ₹6200/-.

                          Looks good. Heard some good reviews about masseter from MRF.

                          Rear is on stock size ?

                              Don't know why Yamaha is delaying it...

                                Around Diwali I've heard the new r15 plus the r3 with a distinct possibility of abs being offered as a option if not beginning of next year.
