    Hi, I have been using Masseter for the past 10k kms.

    Here are my few observations:
    1. This tyre is a real under performer when it comes to slippery (rainy roads). I would prefer not to corner when it's raining or wet roads.
    2. On the side of dry roads I really enjoyed the ride with more grip while braking and on the touring perspective, I could give a complete green.
    3. Tyre is more of a soft compound build so post 15k kms, grip can reduce a lot more.

    But when compared to overpriced michelin this tyre is a great alternative.

    Ride safe. ATGATT
    Ok, MRF Masseters would run 15000 kms and would cost around Rs 7000, i.e. Rs 2.14 per km

    Michelin Pilot Street Radial would run 25000 kms and would cost around Rs 11000 i.e. Rs 2.27 per km.

    Considering the Michelin PSR provides superior dry and wet grip compared to MRF and provide an amazing riding experience, the PSR seems to justify its cost.

      Hey RevZ S 140/70, it's super grippy and would last you atleast 15k.

        Agree with your point with some contradictions.
        For me the whole set costed only 6K and I have also used PSR which costed 10k to 11k but post 20K the grip was lost and the tyre was more prone to puncture. So in my point of view I would still prefer Masseters. No Offence.

        Thanks and Happy riding

        It can even last for 25k but with zero grip.
        Simple bro, we pay for what we gonna get. Enjoy riding.

          Thanks for your insights. No offence taken. I am just trying to make sense of all the data I've gathered so far.

          Anything is better than the stock Contigos I have now.

              Update on Masseter, Grip started reducing post 18k kms. Rear tyre started to skid whenever braking is little hard. As of now the front tyre is ok.
              But rear tyre started showing signs of warning, so I will be changing to next set soon.
