Let me check with the Honda guys if they have the tuff up tube in stock. Any pointers where I can source Michelin tyres in Hyderabad or can I get it online?

Sagar you can use tubeless tires with spokes. Off course they come in specially designed alloy rims. But to find a rim of that sort for Indian spec Vehicles is impossible. They are available for your Harley's and other big bore machines.

Mate it's a good quality tire no doubt if your primary usage is within city this might not give you a smooth ride quality. MRF Nylogrip are better for city use. Sirac tires are good for semi urban/outskirts where you experience rough roads.

Apologies if I have not read your requirements.

Go for it they are pretty good for that sorta terrain. Have them on my RD as well and they do the job pretty well for such roads. Outright speed runs are a bit uncomfortable because of the tread wear.

1. If your wheels are alloys and not spoked ones, you can get tubeless tyres.
2. Yes you can
3. Better grip during braking and cornering (if you select the right tyre upsize). The downside with commuter bikes is that it might have a negative effect on the engine and clutch (as experienced by fellow bhpian Gansan on his splendor). You can take a call on this.

Not sure of the other 2 queries so we shall wait for other members to pitch in. :)

What about the front tyre? Havent changed them from the day I have bought my bike. But the threads are still good. Its an MRF.

If the tread wear is more than 3 mm you need not replace it. Check for the sidewalls for any damage or blisters, if they are good then absolutely no need to replace them.
