Michelin tyres have been consistently providing me with exemplary performance with every set of tyres that I bought and fit them on my bike, be it Pulsar 220 or KTM RC390. My first tyre was a Michelin Dirac 1290/90-17 and it lasted a good 25, 000 KM without much wear. The compound used in them was just brilliant for various road conditions in India. It's unfortunate that they do not supply that size anymore. It's a fantastic fit for all the Pulsar 220s in the road. The bike and that tyre are made for eachother.
Moving on to the front tyre, I fit a Michelin Pilot Sport 100/90-17. While these are good, they aren't so great. I felt it did the job but didn't inspire confidence to the rider. It provides adequate grip in various road conditions in India. Interestingly, this tyre wore out in about 20, 000 KM. I don't think Pilot Sport is that good for Indian road conditions, when compared to their other offerings, which brings me to Michelin Pilot Street.
Michelin Street Pilot - Current set of tyres on my KTM RC 390. I don't think they have let me down ever, irrespective of the road conditions. These set of tyres stick to the road and provide consistent feedback to the rider, as a result of which, a rider can extract maximum potential of this set of tyres (Front and back - KTM specified dimensions). While I don't expect them to last as long as Sirac or Sport did, I would suggest every biker/rider to get Michelin Pilot Street radial on their bike. They are absolute value for money for the performance and reliability that is offered to the customer.
Michelin India customer support has been notified about the posted complaint.
I got a call from [protected] informing me that I had registered a complaint with Michelin and they are ready to transfer an amount equal to the cost of the tyre ( approx Rs 6300) online to me. The caller told me that he is calling from consumer office Mumbai. Once I get the amount, I will have to handover the defective tyre to the local dealer. He insisted on getting my debit card number. I gave him the number. Then he asked me to give the card expiry date, I hesitantly gave that as well. Then he asked me to give the CVV number . I got suspicious that the caller is a fraud and did not provide my CVV number and disconnected the line. A few minutes later I got a call from the same number asking for the OTP code that I had recdon my number. I checked my sms and found that I had got an OTP for an amount of Rs 24999. I immediately disconnected the line. Had I shared the OTP code, I would have got a debit of Rs 24999 from this guy.
I t appears that they use the information on this platform to cheat the innocent customers. I request all to be careful with these cheaters and do not entertain their calls or do not pass on your debit card details, card expiry date and CVV number to them under any circumstances.
