          On 16th March I got Michelin SIRAC (As tubeless) for my P220 from Poona Tyres Market Yard Pune ... Paid 2600 Rs for it !
          Problem started when I saw my tyre was flat out on 18th in the morning ! Thought someone might have removed air hence decided to check it on another day , next morning too it was flat out!

          So today I went to dealer to check out what is the problem , after checking it out thoroughly , we noticed there is leakage from the side wall , can see it in attached pic ...

          To me it seems like tyre defect , as its impossible for tyre to get puncture on side wall ... Its been just 4 days and the dealer was like U dont get any warranty on Michelin and there is no defect in tyre.
          He said he'll repair it , and tht too using fevi-quick !!
          I was like ok fine atleast get it working again ! He put fevi-quick on the rubber seal they use for repairing tubes and fixed it inside the tire ... Filled the air and not to my surprise it was leaking again !!

          By this time i was totally pissed off ,I said him what is this ?? First you sell defective piece and then try some BS repairing technique ? Tht guy started raising his voice , he was like now you will teach how to deal with tyre to me ?? when i raised my voice he said "tera bike utha ke bahar phek dunga" even yelled slangs !! I replied back , Tera Khandan C***** ...

          Then he called his workers not to fit the tyre on my bike , I had to fit it by myself ... I said God bless you to him and left tht place ...

          I think that guy is spoiling reputation of Michelin , moreover doesnt have any ethics n manners how to talk to customers . Never had such a pathetic experience with any shopkeeper in my life.

          Am I supposed to get any warranty on Michelin tyre ? If not what should i do to get it working again ? I had been saving since long to fit this tyre on my bike and this shit happened , I dont wanna lose 2.6k Rs

          Should I mail this incidence to Michelin India ??

          Thanks guys , just wanted to share this with all of you... now feeling a bit better

                AFAIK it can be used as tubeless and many ppl are using it as tubeless w/o any problem ...

                Ohh yaa , Mr Gaurav is there any possibility of getting tyre replacement for me ??

                  'Many people use it tubeless' but the Michelin Sirac is marked TT and is meant for use only with a tube.

                  Mr. Gaurav here can maybe help you if it was a manufacturing defect that caused the leak. I can understand you are upset at losing 2500 bucks though.. Well let us see how Michelin India handles this...

                            why dont you downsize to a 130 width tyre. do really think the FZ requires a 140 for its 14 bhp engine ? you can go for the 130/17 pirelli ,should cost around 2800 rs , 140 also similar price . i bought mine from New delhi .
