      Did you mean that SIRAC STREET is a "Softer" compound when compared to Meteor because AFAIK it definitely isn't a Soft compound one, and looks new even after 15K Kms.

            Every review I've read about the sirac street says its a soft compound, and it is softer than most brands like mrf, tvs , Dunlop etc, so yea by soft I don't mean cotton candy level, ppl are smart they'll understand.

              I believe whatever you said. You are right and I was wrong. Since you say sirac street is soft compound, so it shall be! :thumbup:

                  Not to add to the confusion, could someone explain the Meteor? I've seen the ads and every now and again people praise it, but little is said about price, TT/TL, which of the three models is suitable for ZMA, etc.
                  Thanks people.

                  PS. I remember reading that PSD needs a slight modification to fit and that it's better suited to a zmr than a ZMA. True or false?

                    Here you go - MRF Tyres

                    As per the website, 100 mm is TT, 120 is TL.

                    Regarding PSD, its a direct fit to ZMR and ZMA does require modifications.

                      I agree with @sinnerz2000 and yes Michellin Sirac Street is a softer tire, compared to those of other brands. . .

                      Cheers!!!

                        PSD(110/90 or 110/80) Doesn't require any modifications on the ZMA as well. Any 120 Section needs modifications on the the Zma, lesser than that no problem.

                            Some hard facts gets buried below our perception and opinions.

                            Anyways, did 21k kms on M45 and second innings got atleast 20k kms left. I'll worry little later.

                              If you read my posts a few pages before this, you'll see a few mini reviews I collated.
                              The old Sirac and Sirac streets were softer compounds and were imports. TVS started manufacturing them for Michelin post 2011 (you will see reviews go from AMAZING TYRE to WTF is this).
                              The new Sirac Street is a very hard compound, and is prone to skidding according to a lot of people (It also has a 5 year warranty, if that helps ).

                                AK3D, I thought sirac street was manufactured only for Indian market. Have not seen sirac street with Made in Thailand stamp. Correct me if I'm wrong.
