    Don't know how different is non radial tyre.
    Unless you're a hard/seasoned rider, you won't find much of a difference between them. Radials feel a wee bit better while cornering in my experience.

    I've ridden FZ25s in different conditions with the Michelin, MRF Masseters and Pirelli Angel CT. They all are very similar IMO, though it may be because my riding skills aren't very good. As you said, the bike is relaxed and doesn't have too much power to overwhelm these tyres. None of the tyres mentioned above will disappoint you.

    But since you've used the Michelin before without any issue and don't mind paying the premium, I concur with [MENTION=92085]hemanta[/MENTION], go for the Michelins. Instead of selling the stock tyres yourself, ask the tyre dealer for an exchange.

    Of course go for Michelin then. I thought it's imported.

    Something good in stock size. Mrf or michelin.... Suggestions....
    I upsided the front tyre and I'm more than happy. Still flickable. More contact patch. Better braking..
