When Should You Replace Yamaha FZ Tyres - CEAT Tyres

In 2008, the Yamaha FZ became one of the first motorcycles to offer a radial tyre construction for a mass-market motorcycle. It offered tubeless tyres for the front fitment as well as the rear fitment of the 150-250cc bike. The tubeless tyres’ long life span is advantageous over the tube-type tyres. However, the tubeless tyres need a replacement after a certain period.

  • Factors That Indicate The Right Time To Replace A Worn-Out FZ Tyre

    Yamaha FZ in 150cc and 250cc versions came with tubeless tyres at both ends. Moreover, the rear tyre featured a radial unit in addition to its tubeless feature. Here are some signs for tubeless tyres that indicate they are nearing the end of their life cycle and need replacement. These are: 

    · The tyre tread wears out beyond the tyre wear indicator (TWI) mark placed on the tyre sidewall.

    · The tyre tread wears out unevenly from the centre portion.

    · The tyre wears out along the length of the tread, resulting in scalping.

    · The tyre has suffered from many punctures or visible cuts in the past.

    · The age and life span of the tyre that the tyre manufacturer had claimed has come to an end.
