Hey Abhayhanu, congrats on the new ride and tyres too, looks great.
I`ve been looking for some good tyres for my Karizma for ages now. Could you please tell me where was this tyre shop?

abhinav.s · 4th February 2010, 14:49

As mentioned earlier, they are 110/70 front and 130/70 rear, but i dont know if they will SUITE the hunk, you can fit them, but you will have to ask Hosh if they suite or no.

Its called 4 seasons automobiles, its exactly opposite to the new central mall, the one which was crossroads at tardeo, its in jayhant industrial estate, just as you enter the estate you will see a huge michelin board as he is the official dealer.

For everyone, he is a learned man, and calmly explain what you want and listen to what he says, and reach a decision together, in which you will be happy and he will be happy seeing a bike ride well.
Also do tell him my name, that i recommended him.
4 Seasons - 02266633994
If anything else tell me.

Other note, today i have shut down the bike at 427 kms, so will call and take a appointment for service on monday.

nice...just to confirm you got pirelli for 17 inch rims ? last i checked they were only available for 18 inch.

after you ride them for a while do let us know how they are in comparison to stock.by the way the stock rear tyre was 120mm right ?

For both, yes, but i really wont know much of a difference as i rode them for just 300 kms and that also sedately, but i can tell this for a fact, these are much much better on corners than the stocks.

The Pulsar has 17 inch wheels, where as the HH bikes have 18 inch ones.
Lets hope they have the same tyres in 18 inch versions too.

Abhay - Sorry to hijack your thread, but I need the assistance of all regarding my query.
I booked the P220 with Shriram Motors (Ghatkopar West), Since I wanted the silver colour, I was told that the waiting time would be around 20-25 days, I told them as long as I get my silver colour I don't mind waiting for 30 days.
All this was done on January 14, 2010.
I called up the dealer for the update of the delivery, he informed me that the Silver MIGHT (Because he said he is still trying)not be available. This is after I have made the downpayment and waited for 20 days. What do you guys suggest I do ?
I have planned on the course of action, however will be greatly obliged to hear your reverts on this quandary. My restored Shogun is serving me well for thecommute from home to work and back, hence the necessity of a 2 wheeler is not being felt.
Await your replies on the same.

Have completed 500 kms, lets see what is the closing KM today. Have booked the service for monday and then will really let loose this monster.
Tomorrow will stick my T-bhp stickers also

abhayshanu · 7th February 2010, 20:09
