Changing rear tyre on Ather 450

Ather 450
1

Folks, I have completed over 16000 km on my 450 and the rear tyre has almost no tread left. Is this normal tyre life that people are getting ? The front tyre seems to be in very good condition.

If I need to change, should I do it at Ather service centre? I don’t know if ourside mechanics are capable of handling EV properly

You can see two marks in your tyre…The one in blue and the other one in red…If you’re tyre has crossed the red line then it’s necessary to change the tyre immediately!!..Everybody gets an average of 10-15k kms based on how they accelerate and brake…For changing the rear tyres you have to visit the Service center as the belt tension would be adjusted after fitting the new tyre…But make a note that it’s not necessary to install the tyres which they mention in Service center…You can buy your own tyres and ask them to replace it :+1:…

Rear tire changinging is recommended at Ather Service center. As belt tension need to be calibrated.

There is no need to be done at Ather. It can be done outside keeping in mind the alignment screws are not touched.

Best solution for tyre change of Ather:

  1. buy your own tyre size 90/90 R12. (online or offline)
  2. book service appointment at nearby Ather showroom.
  3. pay rs250 (tyre change cost at service center) and get tyre replaced.

That’s all.

If you plan to get new tyre at service center they will charge 4k for overall process.

You can get it changed at MRF but say them to do it carefully as the paint job on wheels will be ripped off if they do not do it carefully. My Ather’s rear wheel red/orange paint is slightly gone and I can see the metal/steel colour when I went to change my rear tyre after 5 Punctures I had, I changed it again now again I have 4 Punctures now again I need to change it my god I hate people throwing nails on road feels like killing them.

Any suggestions on which tyre brand to pick for 450x gen 3 rear tyre. Have the new stock MRF gen 5 tyres improved in terms of grip, tyre pressure drop?

Any issues with range drop with Michelin tyre?

Gen 5 stock MRF tyres have improved on pressure drop issues, but they have some of the worst grip / traction. Rear wheel locks up pretty quickly and make screeching noise as if I’m doing a drag race on my 450X-Gen 5. I’m considering changing to Michelin tyres.

@chef.arun7 can you please recommend a tyre model with the best possible grip for my 450X Gen5? Is 110/70 R12 tyre suitable on rear wheel?

As you asked this Size, I can only Recommend you TVS Eurogrip 110-70/12R Remora But Don’t expect much Life, Can expect 10k on Warp & Rough Throttle and Smooth & Careful Riding will give you 11-12k. So Better have Fun :sweat_smile:

Pedal to the Medal :1st_place_medal:

Rate is Lower comparing with Competitions and Grip will be Good :blush:

I used TVS Eurogrip for about 40-50k KMs but 100/80-R12

MRF is known well for this Bro :yawning_face:

Ather may Increase +3k more than Now and Should give us Michelin as Stock

**See, On my Next Ather Purchase - After Registration, I will definitely Change Both Tyres to Michelin City Extra (F&R)

100%

I am using Michelin City Extra for both front and rear. It’s really good quality tyres. There is no pressure decrease issue in this tyre. Road grip is superb. Now I can ride confidently and smoothly. But range drop a bit.

My scooter is Rizta Z 3.7.
