All because it was Michelin.

You'd be surprised but that's the same way I went for Street. I've called up a couple of dealers who're listed in Michelin's website. One guy honestly said he doesn't have M45 anymore while the other guy said he has stock.
I filled up the punctured tyre, rode over to him and found that he doesn't have M45. He showed me CEAT, MRF and Street tyres. He said the CEAT will be hard. The Street will be troublesome for the first three months, but after that it will offer "excellent" grip

Going by my previous experiences of sales guys telling all sort of stuff, I stood there and checked on my mobile. The air in my punctured tyre and my patience soon wore out and I went for Street.

Well, going by what you are saying.. can you please tell me what you actually mean by troublesome for the first three months?? in the sense.. 3 months equal to how many kilometers?? don't get offended as that line is not clear to me.. I am using the Michelin Sirac Street for the past 3 months and i still find it slippery on wet roads... how long are you using it?? in the sense how many kms have you completed using them... I have completed more than 1000kms

None taken Bro

3 months was what the dealer told me. He also had a ZMA and saw that he had Sirac street on the front. He then mentioned that "it was slippery for the first 3 months and was good after that."

I have it for the last 4 months and have done around 2000km. The grip was very good so far except for the incident I had last week on a wet road. I was at around 30kmph when it fishtailed on a stretch of water trail left by a tanker.

Hope you and your machine are fine without any damage...

Now thats the problem I am facing.. the tire skids and fishtailed too everytime the tire gets wet... otherwise of dry roads its got an awesome grip.. but again.. we are not going to ride on dry conditions throughout the year and that worries me..

Well, congrats on your decision.. are you seeking for mileage?? it totally depends on your way of riding the bike.. I used to get 30 to 35 kmpl in city and got 44 kmpl on highways... and I used to be a rash rider... Are you planning to ride a karizma with a worn out bore too??
