Street Gerbil

Dear friends,
Does anybody know anything about CEAT tyres for the Street Magic? Are they any good? I was trying to obtain a new Bridgestone, but Colemans' claim they don't have it and that CEAT (which they claim is a Pirelli SL26 copycat) "is good enough for a 50cc" (they are the experts but it sounds like a pile of BS to me). I am more than a little worried about having an unfamiliar tyre on my bike and even more so about having a mix'n'match since SUZUKI manual specifically warns against that. Besides Pirellis look more like racetrack tyres than anything else and I would rather prefer a tyre with better traction, especially on wet surfaces.
So here are the questions for you street magicians out here:
a) Are CEAT tyres any good?
b) What is the best alternative?
c) Where can I get a Bridgestone for the rear wheel?
Thank you!
