    Has anyone purchaed MICHELIN Pilot Street Radial tires for the N250 in the recent past from Bangalore? I have inquired with a few tire dealers who informed that there is no stock of these tires for the last 3 months and they are not sure when the new stock will be sent by the company. They also claim that REAR 130/70-17 is not available from Michelin. However, the company website does claim that this tire is available.

    Appreciate if anyone can point where I can source these tires in Bangalore with an indicative price for the front and rear tires.

    I saw some Pirelli Sport Demons in the size 130/70 17 as recently as Saturday at Millivision Marketing right next to the Lalbagh Main Gate. Don't know about the front, had gone there to inquire for some Michelins.

      Any idea if the ISI issue is resolved?
      Else the stocks there will be duplicates or pre 2011 ones.

        I didn't bother to look closely, so I cannot comment on their authenticity. Went there to get tyres for a CBR250 and they didn't have Pirellis in 140/70 size, so I couldn't be bothered to inspect them.

          Hi maraque,

          Thanks for pointing me to Millivision. I will check with these folks too for PSD. Got a quote of 8.1K for both the front and rear tires for Michelin Pilot Street from Madhu's tyres on JC road. I guess that the Pilot Street is last year's stock as the 2014 model is Pilot Street 2 which is not available at the various shops that I have checked on JC road.

            Spoke to Millivision yesterday who confirmed that they have PSD in stock. Cost 4.5K - front and 5.5K - rear totaling to 10K for the pair. I will check if the stock available is from the 2014 lot this week end. Thanks again @maraque for pointing me to this shop.

              They will do the fitting and balancing as well?
              P.S: There have been news of duplicates floating around - since non ISI tyres were banned 2 years ago. So either Pirelli must have started local production or the ban must have been revoked.

                Wow, the prices have really jumped since the two years I bought me some Pirellis from that exact shop. They were 6.5K then and I had to get them fitted outside since they didn't have the facilities.

                Anyway, good luck with your purchase, and hopefully they are the real deal and not a knock-off.

                And you're welcome, Mr. BlrGuy.

                  Guys,
                  I am posting after a long time. Have some questions

                  1. Changed to Motul 300V 4T Factory Line 15W50 about 8 months ago and I have clocked less than 1000 kilometers since then. Should I consider changing the oil as it is 8 months old?
                  I paid about 1120 per liter and I do not want it to go down the drain

                  2. I use the bike in Bangalore and HAL road has some nasty potholes and one of them had gotten my front rim bent. Went through the posts and found that it costs about 23k.
                  can you guys suggest some other options?

                  Thanks,
                  Yogi

                    1. Since the Kms clocked are not much, i think you should not replace it.. continue for another 3-4k kms or few months more , then go for a change.
                    2. 23k for the rim is the old price , when i got it changed, it cost me 26k out of that 23k i got from insurance company.. if the damage is not too great , you can get it heat treated and get it repaired.. that should be around 3k or so.

                      Thanks, I was worried about the oil as it has been 8-9 months old and used sparingly
                      Will post pics of the rim once I get out of office.

                        The rim on my bike had bent too. Although, it was the rear one but I got it heat treated and cost me only about 1200 odd two years back. But I haven't faced any problem yet and would suggest you to opt for the same.

                        Thanks.

                              where can I get the heat treatment done in Bangalore.

                              Bangalore roads are so bad, guess I will have to keep visiting the heat treatment shop. I feel like I am just murdering my bike by riding it through these roads

                                May be [MENTION=10473]Praful[/MENTION] can help. He had known a shop somewhere in south bangalore ( Jayanagar) May be.. not sure though.

                                Will check with him and update soon.
