      It should work... but check if the front Michelin M45 is a tubeless tyre.

      Btw... how much for the M45 front??

        Not tubeless. Tube type, but never had a puncture till now. Personally, I would suggest you M45 than Dunlop.

        2.75 at front?? It looks so puny at the front compared to sirac 120 at back. Even 90/90 looks very small compared to the 'tractor' tyre.

        You should go for 3 x 17 at front.

            I guess it should not cause much of a problem... but using a rear tyre on the front is not always recommended.

            You wont loose traction on the front coz as you are going for Sirac on the rear... the front actually needs good grip.

            Other tyres like IRC could be used in the front.

                    IRC is a better option. But, it costs around 2600 in banglore.

                    Ravikiran from hyderabad is using Sirac at back with IRC at front on his P220. Excellent and mind blowing performance on road. He is able to take curves at higher speeds than an R-15. The grip at cornering is mindblowing.

                    It is good. I am more than satisfied with it. I have done most of my tours with this tyre and it never disappointed me. I was able to lean very well in those ghats in karnataka. It has alwasy performed good on highways at higher speeds, better than MRF.

                    But, I cannot say how good is this tyre compared to M45, which has a similar thread. I am gonna try this next time.

                          any 3.00x17" tyre should be a direct fit on the P200 front !!

                            Sounds good. I had the Monster in mind when I went tyre shopping. But not a single shop had this tyre. They only had the Challengers. Any idea if all the Dunlops share the same compound? Even the Falcon tyres site does not list the Monster... would be great if its possible for you to post a pic of your tyre. Would be worthwhile to see the tread pattern. After trying the 2 Dunlops with different tread patters on the same bike, I felt that the knobby kinda offroad patterns dont really excel on tarmac. I wonder if they have a higher rolling resistance too...

                            But liike I said before, the Dunlops definitely seem better than MRFs when it comes to grip.

                              I guess it will be a direct fit (99% chance). I have not seen any Pulsar with M45 at front. The M45 is a tube-type and I do not understand why you are going for a tube type. Of course, the tyre wala tried to convince us that it can be fitted as a tube less. If you are going for M45 at front, please be careful with tyre direction. Opposite direction is what you have to use at front.

                              Do not put M45 2.75 at front with Sirac 120. In this case, the front tyre would look like a baby to the rear sirac. As the front braking is light in P200 compared to P220, you may experience handling issues with 2.75 at front and sirac rear. you will be real scared to brake.

                              Also, do not change both front and rear tyres at a time. Change one tyre and see what difference it is making. This way you can see which tyre is really making the difference.

                              If you can source IRC 90/90 at front, it would complement Sirac really good.
